Abstract
The title of this introduction, of course, is a play upon the title of Abbd Sieyes well-known essay from the French Revolution, Qu'est-que le tiers Etat?-What is the Third Estate? In this brief essay, he tries to describe the emergence of a new class, the bourgeoisie, which is neither clergy nor nobility, and which should have its own rights and entitlements in the political constellation of late eighteenthcentury France.' Property, like Frenchmen, has its estates; different types of property with their own rules. These estates are four-fold: real property; movables or chattel; intangible property-the intellectual property of our day, including exclusive rights established through copyright, trademark, rights of publicity, and patent; and the fourth estate-cultural property
