ALVAREZ AMEZQUITA, David Felipe. Copyright and Industrial Design, How a Line Should be Drawn? Works of Applied Arts, its Protection in Colombia. Estud. Socio-Juríd [online]. 2015, vol.17, n.2, pp.199-232. ISSN 0124-0579.  https://doi.org/10.12804/esj17.02.2015.02.

As works of applied arts have been situated normally at the grey area between copyright and industrial property, this article discusses three different approaches about how they should be protected. It particularly focuses on the case of industrial designs which might be considered as copyrighted works. Subject to the fulfilment of copyright criterions and particularly the requisites for works of art and for the work of applied arts, the article proposes that Colombian and Andean Communitarian Law should embrace the partial accumulation system of protection for such creations.

Palabras clave : Copyright; industrial designs; industrial property; grey areas; comparative law.
