Alain Souloumiac (born 8 November 1948) is a French Professor in Law who created the Universal Standard for Intellectual Properties, CREAFREE.
Birth
Alain Souloumiac was born in the harbor of Rouen (France) three years after the end of WWII (1948). During the war, his father and his crew joined the allied forces with their ship to fight the Nazi Slave State. His mother, Suzanne Hiltermann , was a member of the réseau de résistance called Dutch -Paris. This réseau saved the lives of more than a hundred allied pilots that had fallen in the occupied European continent. She was caught by the Gestapo and sent to the Ravensbrück concentration camp. After the war, she received the Medal of Freedom from President Truman.
Life & Career
Vocation
Growing up, Alain Souloumiac would attend King Georges V in Hong-Kong where he would learn to speak English fluently (1962-1964). He grew up living in the free harbor that was built by the English to trade with China. It was there that he began to understand the economic potential in the free movement of goods. When Alain returned to France (Ecole Alsacienne, in Paris), he became interested in Intellectual Property in relation with take-off of under-developed countries. His close friend, Jacques Zazzo, inspired the concept of creation, source of all wealth. Fifty years later, this concept became the major topic of his book on the standard for creators.
Studies
Alain led different studies in several fields. He obtained a Master in Political Science, a Master in Economics and a Master in Public Law. He graduated cum laude with a Ph.D. in Law1, in 1979. During his Public Law curses, he studied Environment Law and Public Freedom with a renown French constitutionalist, Professor Waline. Alain also had an internship at the Compagnie International d’Informatique about New Technology of Information and Communication (NTIC). Intellectual property, public freedom, environment law and NTIC were the major inputs of the standard for creators which he later designed.
