The sequel as a derivative work

Abstract

The sequel is a work that, in the same way as other derivative works, does not have a specific regulation in our intellectual property legislation. This occurs despite the fact that it is not a recently created figure. The sequel has been manifested in different media, depending on the historical moment. At first, its appearance occurred in literature and later in the audiovisual and cinematographic medium. There are certain criteria that will serve to distinguish it from the original work from which it has emerged, as well as from other derivative works, depending on its degree of originality.
