I. Course Description

The Philippine government has long adhered to the protection of intellectual property rights (IPR). Consistent with the country’s commitment to honor international treaties, covenants and agreements, the Philippines has continued to promulgate laws, regulations and administrative procedures on IPR related matters aimed at ensuring respect for IPR. With the promulgation of the Intellectual Property Code (Republic Act No. 8293), the Philippines complied with its international undertakings and provided better protection for IPR.

This is a survey course covering the main areas of intellectual property law - patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets. It introduces each subject and explores commonalities and differences among different systems of intellectual property protection. It also gives an understanding of the philosophy and application of IP Law.

3. Attitudes to apply IP as a key to economic development in the Philippines.4. Values on how to apply IP skills and knowledge positively to Philippine development.

III. Expected Outcome

Appreciate the context in which IP, innovation and technology transfer operate.3. Import appropriate attitudes and values as well as critical, creative, analytical and practical skills in IP, and4.
