                               PROTECTING THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES OF
                                              CAVITE STATE UNIVERSITY

                   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  (Topographies)  of  Integrated  Circuits;  and  g)  Protection  of

                                                                                                         324
