My latest results are about the My research in this area bridges media studies and jurisprudence. After earning my degrees in Journalism and History, I joined the Faculty of Law at the University of the Basque Country. In 2016, I completed a second PhD in Law at Universitat Pompeu Fabra with the doctoral thesis: "Copyright and news reporting. A comparative research study on the authors' rights of media companies, journalists and audiences."

  • Current Focus & AI: I am currently examining the legal intersections between artificial intelligence, copyright, and the media. My latest projects analyze originality, derivative works, and legal implications within AI-aided news production.
  • Core Research Areas: Over the years, my work has focused on authors' rights regarding user-generated content for mobile devices, transmedia informative products, open forum debates on press publishers, and transnational legal regulations.

Below, you can browse a selected bibliography of books, chapters, and articles published in English, Spanish, and Basque regarding intellectual property in the digital era.

My most recent production is about Authors' Rights and the Media, Copyright and user-generated contents for mobile devices. News, entertainment, and multimedia, and Intellectual property and transmedia informative products: A comparative, transnational legal analysis. I am currently focusing on artificial intelligence, copyright and the media, including  Merging or plagiarizing? The role of originality and derivative works in AI-aimed news production, Artificial intelligence systems-aided news and copyright: assessing legal implications for journalism practices, and, in Spanish, Inteligencia artificial, noticias y medios de comunicación: Una aproximación jurídica desde la perspectiva de la propiedad intelectual.
