  Brief description of the notified legal text 
Decree No. 2264 of 11 November 2014 regulating the compensation prescribed for infringement of 
trademark rights.  
Pursuant to Andean Decision No. 486 of 2000, Member countries may, through their domestic 
legislation, establish the appropriate legal framework for parties claiming trademark infringement to request the competent national authority to order compensation for damages. 
Law No. 1648 establishing measures to enforce industrial property rights came into effect 
in Colombia in mid-2013. It makes provision, inter alia , for the prescribed compensation 
for trademark infringement and orders the implementation thereof. 
Based on the above, and with the aim of provid ing a procedure that allows trademark holders 
to be awarded suitable damages for infringe ment of their trademark rights, this Decree 
implements the prescribed compensation.
