Philippines
Republic Act No. 8293

Prepared by: Maria Laureen B. Miranda, LPT


What is Intellectual Property?

Intellectual property refers to


creations of the mind: inventions;
literary and artistic works; and
symbols, names and images used in
commerce.
The Intellectual Property Code of the
Philippines is divided into five [5] parts,
to wit:

PART I The Intellectual Property Office


PART II The Law on Patents
PART III The Law on Trademarks,
Service Marks and Trade
Names
PART IV The Law on Copyright
PART V Final Provisions
The Intellectual Property rights under the Intellectual Property Code as follows:
1.
Copyrights and related rights;
2.
Trademarks and service marks;
3.
Geographic indications;
4.
Industrial designs;
5.
Patents
6.Layout designs [topographies] of integrated circuits; and
7.
Protection of undisclosed information
The agency of the government in charge of the
implementation of the Intellectual Property Code
is the Intellectual Property Office which replaced
the Bureau of Patents, Trademarks and
Technology Transfer.  It is divided into six [6]
Bureaus, namely:
1.Bureau of Patents;
2.Bureau of Trademarks
3.Bureau of Legal Affairs
4.Documentation, Information and Technology
Transfer Bureau
5.Management Information System and EDP
Bureau
6.Administrative, Financial and Personnel
Services Bureau
Copyrights

covers literary works (such as novels,


poems and plays), films, music, artistic
works (e.g., drawings, paintings,
photographs and sculptures) and
architectural design. Rights related to
copyright include those of performing
artists in their performances, producers of
phonograms in their recordings, and
broadcasters in their radio and television
programs.
Trademarks
A trademark is a recognizable insignia, phrase
or symbol that denotes a specific product or
service and legally differentiates it from all
other products. A trademark serves to
exclusively identify a product or service with a
specific company, and is a recognition of that
company's ownership of the brand.
Trademarked products are generally
considered a form of property.
Geographical Indications
A geographical indication (GI) is a sign used on
products that have a specific geographical
origin and possess qualities or a reputation that
are due to that origin. In order to function as a
GI, a sign must identify a product as originating
in a given place. In addition, the qualities,
characteristics or reputation of the product
should be essentially due to the place of origin.
Since the qualities depend on the geographical
place of production, there is a clear link
between the product and its original place of
production.
Geographical Indications
Industrial Design
is a strategic problem-solving process that
drives innovation, builds business success,
and leads to a better quality of life through
innovative products, systems, services, and
experiences. 

Industrial Design bridges the gap between


what is and what’s possible. It is a trans-
disciplinary profession that harnesses
creativity to resolve problems and co-create
solutions with the intent of making a product,
system, service, experience or a business,
better

Patents

A patent gives its owner the right to exclude


others from making, using, selling, and
importing an invention for a limited period of
time, usually twenty years. The patent rights
are granted in exchange for an enabling public
disclosure of the invention.

In most countries patent rights fall under civil


law and the patent holder needs to sue
someone infringing the patent in order to
enforce his or her rights. In some industries
patents are an essential form of competitive
advantage; in others they are irrelevant.
Patents
Layout Designs of Integrated Circuits
In U.S intellectual property law, a "mask work" is
a two or three-dimensional layout or topography
of an integrated circuit (IC or "chip"), i.e. the
arrangement on a chip of semiconductor
devices such as transistors and passive
electronic components such as resistors and
interconnections.

The layout is called a mask work because,


in photolithographic processes, the multiple
etched layers within actual ICs are each created
using a mask, called the photomask, to permit
or block the light at specific locations,
sometimes for hundreds of chips on a wafer
simultaneously.
