The Colombian Patent Office, in an effort to improve their services and to increase the number of patent applications from domestic applicants has carried out different actions that are of interest to businesses and/or individuals seeking to obtain patent protection in Colombia.

Among the significant advances is the signing of the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) pilot program with the South Korean Patent Office (KIPO), which entered into force on 01 February 2016. This pilot program is part of the group of offices which have already signed such programs, including the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) since 2012, the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (SPTO) since 2013 and the Japanese Patent Office (JPO) since 2014.
