PROGRAM PERFORMANCE PROFILE

 Present the duly approved Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)

PROTECTING THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES OF
CAVITESTATEUNIVERSITY

I. Rationale

Republic Act No. 8293, otherwise known as the Intellectual Property
Code of the Philippines, states that:

“The State recognizes that an effective intellectual and industrial
property system is vital to the development of domestic and creative activity,
facilitates transfers of technology, attracts foreign investments, and ensures
market access for our products. It shall protect and secure the exclusive rights
of scientist, inventors, artists and other gifted citizens to their intellectual
property and creations, particularly when beneficial to the people.”

With the various intellectual properties (IP’s) developed in the university
such as the Aguinaldo Blend Coffee, processed products, design for biogas
digester and innumerable research outputs being presented for public
consumption, a few of them were able to acquire protection. The biogas digester
was just recently granted a patent, while research outputs/publications have
been presented without copyright protection, except for some that were able to
acquire ISBN registration from the National Library. Therefore, the University
must develop a system for protecting economically viable intellectual properties
to maximize gains that could finance more researches in the future.

II. Definition of Terms

“Copyright” is the protection extended to expressions and not to ideas,
procedures, and methods of operations or mathematical concepts as such.
Such expressions may be in the forms of literary, scholarly, scientific and
artistic works.

“Intellectual Property or IP” is an asset that possesses commercial value
which can be exploited to generate revenue. IP value lies in its utilization, not
existence.

“Intellectual Property Rights” or “IPR” refers to the entitlement and
enjoyment of the attributes of ownership over intellectual properties. IPR
consists of: a) Copyright and related rights; b) Trademarks and Service Marks;
c) Geographic Indications; d) Industrial Designs; e) Patents; f) Layout-Designs
