The practice for which it was finally sanctioned consisted of the adoption of a strategy aimed at delaying and making it difficult for another company to enter the Spanish medicines market in order to protect sales for a product marketed exclusively by that company and for which had a patent. This paper analyzes this resolution in an attempt to delimit the difference between the legitimate exercise of the right to effective judicial protection and its abuse. 2025-09-16T06:24:32Z 2025-09-16T06:24:32Z 2025-07-28 journal article de Vivero de Porras C, Sanjuán y Muñoz E.
