Call for Papers – First Semester of 2025

Dear author,

The Intellectual Property Department of the Universidad Externado de Colombia invites you to present a paper for the law journal La Propiedad Inmaterial, by march 15, 2025. For more than 20 years, the Journal has sought to serve as a channel of expression for researchers and to disseminate knowledge in the field of intellectual property and new technologies to all the academic community.

As a result, the journal La Propiedad Inmaterial has been classified by the Colombian Ministery of Science, Technology and Innovation (Minciencias) as a Scientific Journal. It is also part of different databases such as Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), Fuente Académica EBSCO, Latindex, Cengage Learning, Proquest, Dialnet, Latam-Studies, HeinOnline, SSRN, Clase, DOAJ y REDIB.

The publication is aimed for students, researchers, and professionals, interested in intellectual property, new technologies, the digital age, and biotechnology, as well as the problems faced by these issues in Colombia and abroad. Hence, we are looking for original papers in either English, Spanish, French, or Italian, which develop these issues.
