TY - JOUR T1 - La protección de los diseños industriales en el continente americano A1 - Castro García, Juan David PB - Universidad Externado de Colombia YR - 2009 UL - http://biblioteca.ararteko.eus/Record/dialnet-ar-18-ART0000333754 AB - The legal regime for the protection of industrial designs in the United States of America is quite complex. It consists of a main protection (in the form of a patent for industrial design [Design Patent]) and subsidiary systems from other protection schemes. As will be seen throughout this document, although in the United States there is some interest in having a single, coherent system of protection of industrial designs, the numerous legislative attempts that the American government had in this regard have not been sufficient to develop such a system. In Latin America, because of the common origin of the source of its legal system, industrial designs have many similarities but also some differences that are worth it knowing in order to achieve the broadest possible view of the way that the industrial designs are protected in the Americas.
