El blockchain y la propiedad intelectual en Colombia : perspectivas como medio de protección y como objeto de protección

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to study the Blockchain in Colombia as a means of protection and, secondly, as an object of intellectual property protection. In this sense, the difficulties present in the Colombian legal framework related to the use of Blockchain technology as a means of protection are discussed, with a view to seeking strategies to solve this problem. Regarding the methodology, the research is limited to a documentary-bibliographic research, in which the techniques for the collection and analysis of the data are the analysis of the normative hypothesis, the consultation to sources of legal knowledge and the review of the data obtained for the interpretation of the legal facts; thus, from the analysis and interpretation it was concluded that despite the advantages of the technology studied in intellectual protection, it is visualized that there are few institutions and professionals with sufficient knowledge to contribute ideas on this topic, so that a legal set for the use of the tool has not been consolidated.
