Abstract

This article intends to present a possible solution to the conflicts related to the likely anticompetitive effects regarding the exercise of intellectual property rights that are presented to the Administrative Council of Economic Defense (Cade) in administrative sanctioning proceedings. In this context, based on case study and literature review, it is analyzed the theory of the state action doctrine, originally attributed to regulated sectors, pointing this doctrine out as a possible solution for cases in which anticompetitive effects were not foreseen in the legislation, contributing to the discussion on the interaction between Competition Law and Intellectual Property Law and the potential conflict between these rules.
