Abstract

The interest in the development of effective models for the protection of intellectual property is currently shifting from the traditional eminently normative approaches to preventive proposals informed by empirical evidence. Therefore, within the frameworkof the InfractXr research project, the present study develops a systematic review of the scientific literature of the last decade with the triple purpose of (1) detecting the most studied behaviors of intellectual property infringement from an empirical perspective, (2) establishing the most relevant factors in the explanation of intellectual property compliance and (3) analysing gender differences both in the regulatory compliance of intellectual property and in associated factors. With a sample of 13 studies, the results indicate, firstly, that piracy is the most studied behavior from an empirical perspective; secondly, that the theory of sociallearning, thetechniques of neutralization, thetheory of self-control, the influence of the Hadopi law, the model of deterrence, the model of legitimacy or the theory of social influence offer promising explanatory frameworks for regulatory compliance and, finally, that women show lower levels of non-compliance than men.
