    La protección jurídica de la gastronomía tradicional en Colombia a través de la propiedad industrial : caso de estudio la Lechona Tolimense
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2025-11-14) Méndez Ortiz, María Catalina; Correa Márquez, María Camila
    This research analyzes the legal possibilities for protecting traditional Colombian cuisine, with an emphasis on the case study of “lechona tolimense” as a representative example of typical dishes in the country. The study provides a comprehensive analysis of the main applicable legal instruments, such as designation of origin (D.O.), trademarks in their various categories (collective, certification or country brand), and complementary figures such as the Colombian Gastronomic Seal and intangible cultural heritage. From a comparative law perspective, international mechanisms such as traditional specialties guaranteed (TSG) and geographical indications (GI) are also studied in order to identify good practices and strategies that can be replicated or adapted to the Colombian context. The analysis shows that, depending on the desired protection approach, Colombia has both industrial property and public law tools to support traditional gastronomic products and dishes. However, these concepts have been little explored and applied in relation to traditional cuisine, which limits their recognition, positioning, and preservation in national and international markets. It should also be noted that the protection of dishes should not be restricted solely to their name or designation through trademarks, but should also include the ancestral knowledge, techniques, and skills that determine their quality, identity, and cultural value. Finally, based on international experiences, it is proposed that Colombia should promote more robust initiatives to legally protect its gastronomic heritage, encouraging both the preservation of this knowledge and the local economic development and international positioning of national cuisine.
