“CONVERGENCIA DEL DERECHO DE COMPETENCIA Y DEL DERECHO DE PROPIEDAD INTELECTUAL EN LA LEGISLACIÓN ECUATORIANA”

Abstract

This paper reviews doctrines about the inefficiency of the markets and whether it can be related to any form of exercise of the rights that intellectual property attributes, since, based on Ecuadorian law, when the exercise of property is abused intellectual can also be configured an abusive practice contrary to free competition and the market itself. With this aim, starting from a rationalist approach, using induction, qualitative techniques are used to evaluate the pertinent normative framework. In such virtue, it is reviewed what would be the measures to remedy the negative results that are generated, without forgetting that they should not alter or violate other rights and at the same time present themselves as an efficient solution
