ZAPATA FLOREZ, Jonathan. Unfair competition within industrial property: A characterization based on the Andean and Colombian legal regime. Civilizar [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.43, e20220202.  Epub Sep 02, 2023. ISSN 1657-8953.  https://doi.org/10.22518/jour.ccsh/20220202.

The Court of Justice of the Andean Community is the jurisdictional authority in charge of interpreting the rules established in the Andean region, an interpretation that is binding on the internal bodies of member countries due to the principles of supra-nationality and direct application of Andean Law. Decision 486 of 2000 generically establishes the concept of unfair competition related to industrial property, around which this article will present a doctrinal reconstruction based on the preliminary interpretations of the Andean Court and the doctrine of the Superintendency of Industry and Commerce of Colombia, to finally propose some points of integration between the concept managed by these entities. This article summarizes the results of a qualitative research with a dogmatic approach supported by a specialized documentary technique, where it is concluded that both doctrines must be integrated to adequately observe the principles of the Andean Law.

Keywords : Andean Community; Court of Justice of the Andean Community; preliminary interpretation; Superintendency of Industry and Commerce; unfair competition related to industrial property..
