Intellectual Rights 21

  Since its founding in 1964, ASIPI has advocated avant-garde thinking in favor of Intellectual Property rights. For this reason, ASIPI promotes the search for new and more effective ways of generating and disseminating knowledge that contribute to the study and deepening of current issues, which in turn stimulate creative capacity in our countries. We are immersed in an internationally intertwined scheme, with a growing generation immersed in a digital apogee, which permeates all spheres of knowledge, professions, culture and the economy. Naturally, Intellectual Property does not escape from this reality in which the rules of the game change in the blink of an eye, forcing us to constantly re-educate ourselves. Thanks to the perseverance and excellent work of those who have preceded us, our Association has remained in constant evolution, providing tools to face emerging challenges and controversies in the world of IP, promoting a culture of research and analysis. That is why with satisfaction, I present this new volume of the publication "Intellectual Rights", which has been prepared with great impetus and dedication for all our readers.   [su_accordion] [su_spoiler title="Apuntes sobre la posibilidad de protección intelectual de las creaciones culinarias en Chile por Victoria Aylwin" open="no" style="default" icon="plus" anchor="" anchor_in_url="no" class=""] The article studies in general terms if culinary creations, particularly the food presentation, can be effectively protected like works of art within the scope of the intellectual property.

In response, rights holders call for a balance in the economic systems of participation, and laws that are appropriate to the new forms of distribution and consumption of creative content.

Derechos Intelectuales 21

  Desde su fundación en 1964, ASIPI ha abogado por un pensamiento vanguardista, en favor de los derechos de Propiedad Intelectual. Por esta razón, ASIPI promueve la búsqueda de nuevas y más efectivas formas de generar y difundir conocimiento que contribuyan al estudio y profundización de temas actuales, que a su vez estimulen la capacidad creadora en nuestros países. Estamos inmersos en un esquema entrelazado internacionalmente, con una creciente generación sumergida en un apogeo digital, lo que permea todas las esferas del saber, de las profesiones, de la cultura y de la economía. Naturalmente, la Propiedad Intelectual no escapa de esta realidad en la que las reglas del juego cambian en un abrir y cerrar de ojos, obligándonos a reeducarnos de manera constante. Gracias a la perseverancia y excelente trabajo de quienes nos han precedido, nuestra Asociación se ha mantenido en permanente evolución, facilitando herramientas para afrontar los retos emergentes y las controversias en el mundo de la PI, promoviendo una cultura de investigación y análisis. Es por esto qué con satisfacción, les presento este nuevo volumen de la publicación “Derechos Intelectuales”, el cual se ha preparado con mucho ímpetu y dedicación para todos nuestros lectores.   [su_accordion] [su_spoiler title="Apuntes sobre la posibilidad de protección intelectual de las creaciones culinarias en Chile por Victoria Aylwin" open="no" style="default" icon="plus" anchor="" anchor_in_url="no" class=""] El artículo analiza en líneas generales si efectivamente las creaciones culinarias, especialmente la presentación de los platos, pueden ser consideradas obras artísticas dentro del ámbito de la propiedad intelectual. En particular se analiza si este tipo de obras pueden ser catalogadas como obras de arte, cuál sería el objeto de protección y los mecanismos alternativos que podría utilizar el titular de una creación culinaria para salvaguardar sus derechos. [/su_spoiler] [su_spoiler title="El impacto de la música digital en el derecho de autor y los derechos conexos por José Rafael Fariñas Diaz" open="no" style="default" icon="plus" anchor="" anchor_in_url="no" class=""] La música tradicional ha tenido durante largo tiempo un rol preponderante en la economía mundial. Los diferentes actores que conforman su cadena de valor, desde la fase de creación hasta la de comunicación de obras, prestaciones y producciones, han convivido con esquemas tradicionales de comercialización. Sin embargo, esa realidad ha cambiado con la irrupción de nuevas plataformas de servicios en línea que masifican el acceso a los contenidos y facilitan el uso no autorizado de ellos. Ante esa situación, los titulares de derechos claman por un equilibrio en los sistemas económicos de participación y leyes que se adecúen a las nuevas formas de distribución y consumo de contenidos creativos.

Sin embargo, la aplicación de los requisitos de registrabilidad respecto a este tipo de signos, especificamente el de la susceptibilidad de representación gráfica y el de la distintividad, no ha sido del todo pacífica. En este contexto, el presente documento pretende realizar un análisis de las solicitudes de signos olfativos que se han presentado en Colombia ante la Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio, en las cuales la aplicación de los requisitos de registrabilidad se ha llevado a cabo de manera diversa y hasta opuesta, con el propósito de proponer soluciones para que los signos olfativos logren acceder al registro.

Si esto es así, entonces el proceso de oposición andina se debe suspender temporalmente hasta que se conozca en firme el resultado de la acción de cancelación andina presentada en otro país miembro.

Ha llegado el momento de modernizar el sistema legal en relación con este tema. Existe un anteproyeto de ley que pretende modernizar la rama del derecho referente al “patrimonio cultural”.
