🎮 Intellectual Property in the Digital World
Since 2007, the video game industry has experienced a resurgence in Colombia, with various titles reaching up to 800,000 downloads in different online app stores.
Colombian legislation does not have a specific intellectual property protection category for "video games." However, if they are broken down into simpler parts, each component can be protected independently:
⚠️ Employment Risk: At the employment and contracting level, there are significant risks for those who create a video game without strict confidentiality and assignment of economic rights clauses.
It is common for companies in this industry not to seek any protection for their video game, or to do so only for the software, without protecting the entire intellectual creation surrounding it.
