Brochure related to the Clarified Act issued by the Andean Court
The Andean Court of Justice issued a "Brochure related to the Clarified Act" which includes rulings of prejudicial interpretations in which one or several Andean statutes are recognized as clarified, which, among others, highlight the following:
- New creations
- Distinctive Signs
- Copyrights
- Plant Breeders' Rights and Plant Varieties.
Finding that the jurisprudences issued were solid, the Court worked on the compilation of relevant matters, so that the judges have within their scope a list of interpretations where it is not necessary to request their interpretation again. This will be reflected in the reduction of time in taking decisions.
