Although the doctrine has been widely applied by the Court of Justice of the European Union, no uniform set of criteria for its application has been developed. Thus, the criteria for applying the doctrine vary for different types of allegedly essential facilities. The criteria for applying the doctrine in cases where the alleged essential facility is a materialised facility or service are relatively clear. However, the situation is different when the alleged essential facilities are intellectual property rights. Two different sets of criteria have been developed for the assessment of such situations, which differ greatly from each other. This creates legal uncertainty for both companies controlling potentially essential facilities and companies seeking access to those facilities under the doctrine. The contribution clarifies which set of conditions is probably generally applicable in such situations and points out to the necessity of the clarification of this question through case lawAvtor v prispevku osvetljuje pogoje, pod katerimi je mogoče uporabiti doktrino nujne zmogljivosti v konkurenčnem pravu Evropske unije. Čeprav je bila doktrina nujne zmogljivosti v preteklosti široko obravnavana v sodni praksi Sodišča Evropske unije, se niso razvili enotni kriteriji za njeno uporabo, ki se razlikujejo glede na naravo posamezne nujne zmogljivosti. Pogoji, pod katerimi je doktrino nujne zmogljivosti mogoče uporabiti, če domnevno nujno zmogljivost predstavlja materializirana zmogljivost ali storitev, so sorazmerno jasni. Drugače pa je v primerih, v katerih jo predstavlja pravica intelektualne lastnine. Za presojo narave pravic intelektualne lastnine kot nujne zmogljivosti sta se namreč razvili dve skupini pogojev, ki se med sabo v bistvenem razlikujeta, kar podjetja postavlja v položaj pravne negotovosti. Prispevek utemelji, kateri pogoji so v takšnih položajih verjetno splošno uporabni, ter poudari potrebo po sodni razjasnitvi zadevnega vprašanjaTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of Slovenia
