Chilean student makes first-ever comparative study between Spain and Chile on the unfair administration of wealth
7 november 2019
Is the creation of the crime of unfair administration of wealth justified in Chile, were there gaps in the criminal law treatment of the unfair administration of wealth of others in Chile, did the existing criminal law types before the entry into force of Law 21.121 respond satisfactorily to the need for protection of legal wealth, from the criminal policy perspective? Why did the Chilean legislator take so long to establish this new criminal law, did the Chilean legislator take advantage of experience, doctrine and international jurisprudence to establish a criminal law in accordance with current needs, and are there real differences between the criminal law established in Chile and that of Spain? These are some of the questions that this research attempted to answer.

22 october 2019
As stipulated in the Article 137 of the Decision no. 486 of the Andean Community, the competent national office may, when it has sufficient reason to believe that the registration was applied for in order to engage in, contribute to, or strengthen an act of unfair competition, may refuse to register that trademark. This sui generis condition has created many problems as far as its application to practical cases is concerned. It has no equivalents in other legislations, and there are no documents that determinate the nature and scope of the law.
