First Patent Troll Ruling in Colombia
Before analyzing the grounds of the case, it is important to make some comments in relation, not only to the facts and the ruling on this case, but also the procedure followed by the office. Due to a recent law amendment, the Colombian IP office has the competence to deal with IP infringement cases, which previously were ruled by the civil judges. Although this new system implies several advantages, it also represents some challenges that the office will have to face in the near future.
