La propiedad intelectual en el marco de los derechos de propiedad

Abstract

In the discussion on intellectual property there are two currents of thought: those posed by that property rights should be extended to intellectual property and that raises there instead of intellectual property should be free access to knowledge. In this article we present the vision of some of the authors who are enrolled in the first school of thought, i.e. authors believed that intellectual property is essential to the development of the knowledge economy.

The article is divided into four main parts: the first part discusses the relationship between property rights and the market economy. The second part discusses relations between property rights and property. Part III establishes the relationships between the types of property and intellectual property. The last part is a mention about the importance of understanding the externalities and the establishment of public policies.
