Law/Patents - Law (general) / Text on "l'économie de l'immatériel"
French term or phrase: droits éminents
Full context:

"Ces interventions doivent être d'autant plus prudentes que l'immatériel recèle une complexité juridique particulière. Il est notamment propice à la superposition des droits tant pour le secteur privé que pour l'Etat qui dispose de droits éminents mais attribue à des tiers des droits efficaces qui permettront l'exploitation économique de l'actif immatériel concerné."

I have also asked for the corresponding meaning of "droits efficaces" in another question.

Thanks.

Explanation:
Hello,

I could be wrong, but I think these are exclusive rights.

éminents = special in the sense of exclusive

In this context, the state has exclusive rights...

I hope this helps.

eminent domain


Explanation:
I'm wondering if this doesn't work in your case. While I know it usually comes up in the context of real property, it isn't strictly limited to that context, and can arise with respect to intangibles. In any event, it seems that the concept is the same...

Explanation:
"Privileges" is what I found for "prérogatives" which is probably very close to your search.
