Sobre si “los corredores (comisionistas) pueden retener parte del precio cuando venden por más de lo que el dominus les prescribió" 30 noviembre, 2020
Andrés de la Madre de Dios, un teólogo – jurista carmelita del siglo XVI realizó, como muchos otros de la Escuela de Salamanca, numerosos dictámenes o pareceres sobre cuestiones jurídicas.

La esencia de la personalidad jurídica es la capacidad de ser responsable 30 noviembre, 2020
El texto que reproduzco a continuación fue escrito en 1911. Refleja, bastante bien, por qué debemos tener una concepción patrimonial de la personalidad jurídica: lo importante, para ser considerado como una persona jurídica – una “entidad” dice el autor – por el Derecho es si puedes ser considerado responsable, esto es, si puedes atenerte a las consecuencias […]

La coexistencia de "empresas originarias" (o "innovadoras"), que tienen la exclusiva (patente) respecto a un […]

La UE ha dado un paso importante para sancionar a Amazon por abuso de posición de dominio (aquí la nota de la Comisión), confirmando así los rumores existentes.

Abuso de posición dominante e interés del consumidor (a propósito de la demanda de USA contra Google) 22 octubre, 2020
Una de las novedades más destacables procedentes de los Estados Unidos (USA) es la esperada demanda contra Google por abuso de posición dominante (aquí).

Data: the uniqueness of the dataset and the slope of the value curve 1 noviembre, 2020
Some questions to ask about datasets and the importance of that data for markets, firms and allegations of market power: Is the data already replicated elsewhere? Is the data replicable?

Access and Interoperability and Antitrust 16 julio, 2020
Many of you will have seen a lecture I’ve given on several occasions since around 2011 when I discuss antitrust issues around interoperability.
