Abstract

This paper provides an overview of the interplay between competition and intellectual property (IP) law in Latin America and the Caribbean. It begins by outlining the objectives and pillars of each policy area, along with the main competition law principles and approaches to IP rights. The analysis then focuses on key competition enforcement issues related to IP that have emerged in the region, including anti-competitive practices and merger control. It also examines IP-related competition advocacy and co-operation between competition authorities and IP agencies. The paper concludes that the application of competition law to IP rights remains relatively recent and limited to a few jurisdictions, highlighting the potential for broader engagement across the region.
