Technical workshop on copyrights, trademark Dec 2021 Bubalus Technical workshop on copyrights, trademark By Charlene Corpuz The DA-PCC, thru its Intellectual Property and Technology Business Management (IPTBM) office, con-ducted a "Technical Workshop on Copyright and Trademarks” for the agency's researchers and em-ployees last November 22. Notice: Undefined variable: imgDesc in C:\laragon\www\post.php on line 114 This virtual learning activity aims to capacitate the participants on how to conduct a trademark and copyright search using various databases, file them online through the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL), and determine which works are eligible for copyright and trademark protection. Dindo Dumali, IP Rights Specialist III of IPOPHL, served as the resource person of the said activity. The two major topics that were discussed included the Introduction to Copyrights and Introduction to Trademarks and Nice Classification. The DA-PCC’s implementation of Intellectual Property (IP) management-related program aims to improve the translation of innovations derived from its Research for Development (R4D) programs into commercial products and public goods. IPs such as patents and Utility Models (UMs) were filed at the IPOPHL through the establishment of the IP-TBM Office and the support of DOST-PCAARRD Phase II Project called Patent Mining in Dairy Buffalo and Cattle Thru IP-TBM in the Philippine Carabao Center. Based on the previously conducted activity of IPTBM, “Technical Workshop on Prior Art Search, Claim Drafting and Invention Spotting for PCC Researchers” last September 6-10, trademarks and copyrights are the types of IPs that also require focus, thus, these IPs contribute to maximize the value of products created out of research. As of now, the DA-PCC has four patent applications, 20 UMs of which 13 are registered, and 15 trademarks of which nine are registered. According to IPOPHL, copyright is acquired in such a way that works are protected by the moment of their creation, irrespective of the mode or form of expression, as well as their content, quality, and purpose. Copyright protects the value of a researcher’s work. Moreover, it gives the creators rights on how their works are used. Trademark, on the other hand, is a name, symbol, or logo that is placed on the product. This refers to any visible sign distinguishing the goods or services of an enterprise (Sec. 121.1 RA 8293). The trademark owner has an exclusive right to use, sell, license, and profit from this type of IP. Continuous efforts concerning IPs, copyrights and trademarks will be strengthened by the IPTBM office to ensure that the agency remains on track in effectively managing IPs, which in turn benefit the community and its investors. For DA-PCC researchers and employees, understanding the nature of various IP rights, what they protect, how the rights can be gained and how efficiently they can be commercialized are some important takeaways from the said technical workshop.
