Added a note regarding coats of arms, flags and other emblems, clarifying they are not public domain by default but they may be in the public domain if the corresponding act enacting such symbol is found. Bedivere (talk) 19:41, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Requires Update

In 2018 the legal statutes have been updated. This should be updated with

In the CÓDIGO ORGÁNICO DE LA ECONOMÍA SOCIAL DE LOS CONOCIMIENTOS, CREATIVIDAD E INNOVACIÓN (ORGANIC CODE OF THE SOCIAL ECONOMY OF KNOWLEDGE, CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION) which regulates IP in Ecuador. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HarveyPrototype (talk • contribs) 20:10, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

@HarveyPrototype I only updated two sections: background and FoP. As the only available copy at WIPO Lex is in Spanish, I cannot immediately determine if the law has retroactove effect to actions made before the change in copyright law (I only used Google Translate mobile app in undertaking tedious translation). The possible conflict between the Ecuadorian and Andean Community FoP must be discussed too; although it has been a consensus here that the Andean decision is binding in all of its constituent members (which includes Ecuador), a real-life FoP-related court case in Colombia (another Andean member) states that the clauses in the decision are too general and too open, in that individual states have the right to regulate such provisions in their internal laws (see Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Sculptures in the Museo Botero (Bogotá)).

Thank you.

Under this consideration shouldn't the pictures in Category:Ecuadorian FOP cases/delted be reconsidered since they fall under {{FoP-Ecuador}}? HarveyPrototype (talk) 01:23, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
