Abstract

The Andean and European case law on software protection has developed parallel to both community regulations. Although community decisions or directives establish the protection of software by copyright, software patents are possible, under certain conditions that will be analyzed in this study. Additionally, the jurisprudential treatment, in the Andean Community and the European Union, of audiovisual works, such as video games, will be explained.
