Résumé
Although there appears to be no theoretical obstacle to the seizure of intellectual property rights, like any other incorporeal rights belonging to a debtor, in practice such seizures are rare. The unwillingness of legal professionals to implement forced sale proceedings for intellectual rights is surprising given how valuable they can be, and it seems reasonable to examine the reason why. An examination of the legal texts reveals gaps in the legislation, but the almost total lack of regulation could easily be dealt with by analogy with the seizure of partnership rights, as explicitly suggested by the code of civil enforcement proceedings. The question is therefore to understand if the need to take the specific nature of the seized property into consideration, as expressly required by the code, constitutes an excessive complication that prevents the forced sale of intellectual property rights.
