Rights of the software owner and use licenses in Latin America

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to carry out a study of comparative law between the countries of Ibero-America, which allows determining the existence of integrated regimes for the protection of the owner of a computer program. Likewise, the various rights granted and the limitations thereof are briefly analyzed. This study begins by defining the object of the investigation (the software), and analyzes some of the situations that may arise when determining its ownership, which includes programs carried out under an employment or contractual relationship.
