Protection of video game mechanics through the patentability of software
Video games have grown to become one of the most important industries in the world. They combine a wide range of creative, industrial and technological elements, so we can define video games as complex works that can embody multiple intellectual creations. Nevertheless, many professional have assume...

Actualmente, combinan una amplia gama de elementos creativos, industriales y tecnológicos por lo que se puede definir los videojuegos como creaciones complejas que logran incorporar múltiples creaciones del intelecto humano. Sin embargo, muchos profesionales han asumido que el sistema de derechos de autor es el único que se aplica en el caso de la protección legal de los sistemas a través de los cuales los jugadores interactúan con un juego, denominados como “mecánicas de videojuegos”. Esta posición deja de lado otras opciones que podrían ofrecer sus propios beneficios e incluso evitar las lagunas legales que existen en la actualidad. Este documento explora la posibilidad del uso del sistema de patentes, con sus propias limitaciones, para proteger dichas mecánicas de videojuegos.2019text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=7014479(Revista) ISSN 1657-1959Revista la propiedad inmaterial, ISSN 1657-1959, Nº. 27 (Enero-Junio), 2019, pags. 69-93engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
