The Geographical Indications in the Andean Community are regulated in the Title XII of the decision 486, Common Regime on Industrial Property, which agrees with the protection parameters established by the TRIPS Agreement (Trade-Related Intellectual Property rights) in the frame of the World Trade Organization. This norm establishes the definition and the procedure for the obtaining of the protection of a geographical indication. It also establishes the regime on awarding the authorisations for the use and the norms related to the observing right.
