This study analyses Intellectual Property Rights related to space activities and Space Law. The potential contradictions between these two laws are of specific interest. Besides the different approaches on which their legislation has been established, the increasing role of private companies as space actors calls for the adoption of a strong legal framework for Intellectual Property. / The issue of Intellectual Property Rights in outer space will be examined within the first Part, with a focus on Patent Law. The second Part explores the specific rules contained in the International Space Station Intergovernmental Agreement, on Intellectual Property and exchange of data and goods. Although there is some legal mechanism, no protection capable to meet the space industry's current and future needs.
