This article is placed in the context of intellectual property law, being its subject of study the Certificates of Origin compared with brands, to inquire how they are recognized in the Colombian legal system, and the impacts derived from obligations of the intellectual property provisions embedded in the free trade agreements signed by Colombia, particularly with the European Union and the United States. We used descriptive methodology to analyze their regulation. It shows as result that in Colombia, the Certificates of Origin are of recent use and their protection differs with other countries in the Andean system.

Keywords : Intellectual Property; Industrial Property; Appellations of Origin; Brands; Free Trade Agreements.
