La protección de obras huérfanas en el Ecuador : análisis jurídico en el marco del derecho de propiedad intelectual.

Abstract

The thesis entitled "The protection of orphan works in Ecuador: Legal analysis in the framework of intellectual property law" deals with the problem of orphan works, those whose copyright owners are not identified or located. It focuses on the Ecuadorian legal context linked to intellectual property, taking into account both local and international laws that Ecuador has signed up to. The purpose is to examine the legal status of these works within the framework of copyright and the safeguarding of their rights. The study analyzes the legal consequences, the challenges of safeguarding them and the solutions suggested on a global scale, such as the regulation of exploitation rights in the event of no identified titles. During the work, feasible options are suggested for the effective safeguarding of these orphan works in Ecuador, ensuring a balance between access to culture and respect for authors' rights.
