Limitations on publication

There is no general system that establishes limitations on publication.

Specific rules regarding publication of scientific results financed by public bodies

There is no general legal regime, so the rule is that dissemination of research findings is free. However, some HEIs have rules that affect dissemination of research results when they may interfere with the requirements provided by the system of patents.

Some examples: Universidad Arturo Prat del Estado de Chile - Reglamento del Consejo Editorial y de las Publicaciones - Decreto Exento Nº 192 del 30/05/1990

Non-disclosure clauses in research contracts

There is no general rule governing confidentiality in research contracts. However, it is observed that a large number of HEIs have rules regulating the subject under its internal legislation:

Universidad de Chile - Decreto Exento No 0021008 10.9.2007

Universidad Católica de Chile - Reglamento de Propiedad Intelectual de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile

Universidad Austral de Chile - Reglamento de Fomento de Propiedad Intelectual de la Universidad Austral de Chile
