What is the future of the private individual in the context of a society which has become increasingly interested in commercializing personal features, works and expressions? To what extent is there a conflict between the Western belief in individuality as a value and the current attempts to marginalize individuality within the context of intellectual property laws? Do companies have a commercial personality? These questions are answered by a concept of individuality that can be traced back to the cultural roots of a fundamental value of Western societies. Using these roots, the author develops a frame for the protection of individuality within the existing legal provisions.
