COLOMBIA\u00a0|\u00a0Trademarks\u00a0| Colombia’s Council of State reiterates modifications in its jurisprudence: trademark invalidity actions based on relative prohibitions can be withdrawn<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On 20 October 2017, the Council of State -CS- (Colombia’s Supreme Court for reviewing administrative acts) reiterated that trademark invalidity actions based on\u00a0Andean Decision 486′ Article 136 relative prohibitions<\/a><\/span>\u00a0-for example, trademark registration applications resembling trademarks requested or registered by a third party- can be withdrawn.<\/p>\n

During the last years, the CS\u00a0stated in its jurisprudence that it was not possible to accept withdrawal of such annulments, since not only interests of the affected third party must be considered, but especially those of the consumers and\u00a0its competitors.<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0during the last months -and by joint pronouncement of the different Magistrates of the CS Section\u00a0that decides on industrial property matters- it was considered that the “interpretative criterion”<\/a><\/span>\u00a0(applied at the beginning of the 2000’s)\u00a0accepting\u00a0the withdrawal of this type of invalidity actions must be resumed, since the\u00a0purpose of these\u00a0lawsuits is to controvert the legality of a trademark registration ignoring\u00a0the subjective right of a third party, translated into a particular and concrete (and not general) interest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

COLOMBIA\u00a0| Compliance\u00a0|\u00a0Colombian Congress will discuss Bills with new measures against corruption<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Colombian Congress is currently discussing two bills through which aims to improve the existing anti-corruption regulations in the country.<\/p>\n

On one hand,\u00a0Law Project 005 of 2017 aims to adopt new criminal law measures against corruption<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0 The\u00a0bill is relevant since it\u00a0aims to generate coherence of the Colombian norms on the matter with international instruments promoting\u00a0measures against corruption, as well as adopting specific measures focused on political campaigns, public procurement processes, duty of denunciation of facts associated with corruption, concealment and destruction of evidence, among others.<\/p>\n

At the same time,\u00a0Bill 084 of 2016 is also discussed.\u00a0 If approved, measures to strengthen public procurement in Colombia will be adopted<\/a><\/span>,\u00a0modifying\u00a0aspects of public procurement processes as a guarantee of transparency.<\/p>\n

The projects are under discussion -and if approved-, will reinforce existing legislation in the country on anti-corruption issues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
