Abstract
Essential facilities designate specific inputs which are essential for the production of other downstream goods.
Inputs are situated upstream and so are eligible for intellectual property protection. In order to foster competition in the downstream, holders of these inputs should be forced to give access to potential users, by offering them operating licenses. In other words, one must respect the exclusive right of intellectual property holder to freely exploit his invention or must he be sacrificed in favor of downstream competition?
In the present analysis we intend to analyze some of either controverted or less known judicial aspects related to the theory of essential facilities.

Abstract
A frequent sign in tradmarks is represented by colours or shade of colours. The European Union Court decided that a colour per se may acquire distinctness in the Libertel case. The challanges of a trademark registration are raised by the graphic represention, the distinctive character and the risk of monopolisation. The jurisprudence reveals that a colour can be registered as a trademark if the judges will analyse all the circumstances of the case. With this view in mind, we want to establish if a colour can be protected as the dominant element or as the unique sign of a trademark.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the amendments brought by Romanian Government Ordinance no. 12 of 2014 to the Law for the repression of unfair competition no. 11 of 1991 as well as the links created and severed between the 1991 law and other normative provisions, the most relevant of which has become the Competition Law no. 21 of 1996. While the analysis is mostly focused on the changes made and effects thereof on the overall system for the combating of unfair competition in Romania, some considerations pertaining to the constitutionality of the Ordinance are also made. Moreover the paper takes into account the most recent legislative developments surrounding the Parliamentary debate concerning the adoption of a bill for a Law to approve the Ordinance and amendments proposed therein.
