Sriplaw - Intellectual Property Specialists

A historic shift in Colombia’s Intellectual Property landscape is officially underway ⚖️

Enforcing copyrights in Colombia was costly, complex, and often symbolic. That era is over. With the new Decreto 370 of 2026, statutory damages are now an operational reality, eliminating the need for complex economic proof.

Our new legal analysis details how this framework, combined with a historic 80.9% success rate before the DNDA’s specialized tribunal, creates the most favorable environment for rights holders in the country's history.

A "Starman" in Portugal! ✨

Managing Partner Joel Rothman visited in the beautiful town of Loulé, Portugal where he stopped by the gallery to take in their David Bowie historic photography exhibit BOWIE: The Photographers.

Great to connect with Gallery Director Maria Miguel de Vilhena and appreciate the works of all the artists on display.
The highlight?

A stunning David Bowie exhibit featuring the work of SRipLaw clients, and the collection of the late owned by , an Brands Group company.

Seeing our clients' work in person in large format prints reminds us why we love what we do. From Duffy’s "Aladdin Sane" era to O'Neill’s legendary shots, these images are more than photos; they are cultural treasures.

Until recently, suing for copyright in the country of Colombia was a costly maze, but the rules of the game have changed with the new Decree 0370 of 2026:

💸Fixed Ranges: Damages now range from $4,800 USD to $48,000 USD per work.
🛡️Extra Protection: Removing your signature or watermark now leads to even higher penalties.

At SRipLaw, we spend our days protecting the legacies of creators and innovators. But today, we want to pause and celebrate the women who build legacies at home and in our firm.

We asked the moms on our team to share what motherhood means to them. From the joyous chaos to the pride of seeing a child grow into a kind human being, their words are the soul of our firm.

Did you know that in 1977, Kenner sold empty boxes?.

They couldn't keep up with the demand for Star Wars figures, so they sold vouchers instead. This proved that a strong brand and the legal right to an idea are often more valuable than the product itself.

From George Lucas trading $350,000 in salary for merchandising rights, to registering Darth Vader's breathing as a trademark, the Star Wars franchise is a masterclass in IP protection.
