Sumario: Appellations of Origin (AOs) are often located as one of the indications of Source´s species. However, Andean Decision 486 places the aforementioned as Geographical Indication´s species. Given their definition and legal requirements to obtain their protection, AOs arise as special distinctive signs widely protected. Indeed, because AOs are indicators of a specific origin which creates a special and prestigious good, and since their ex-officio registration, these signs are enforced even before the issuance of the Administrative Act which declares its protection. Therefore, they are set apart from Indications of Source, as the latter do not have a particular place or time of creation and the identified good does not need to have an added value that justifies exclusive appropriation. AO are especially protected since, while they belong to the National Authority and identify a collective reputation, the prohibition to using or registering a sign that reproduce, contain or resemble them is absolute and not limited to likely violation of Owner´s rights.
