Series of2012

SUBJECT: ESTABLISHMENT OF IPOPHL'S PATENT PROTECTION INCENTIVE PACKAGE (PPIP), ALSO KNOWN AS THE "JUAN'S THOUSAND INVENTIONS"

Whereas, Republic Act No. 8293 provides that "The State recognizes that an effective intellectual and industrial property system is vital to the development of domestic and creative activity, facilitates transfer of technology, attracts foreign investments, and ensures market access for our products. It shall protect and secure the exclusive rights of scientists, inventors, artists and other gifted citizens to their intellectual property and creations, particularly when beneficial to the people, for such periods as provided in this Act.";

Whereas, for decades, patent applications filed by Filipino scientists and inventors comprises only 2-5% of the total yearly patent filings while outputs from researches by Philippine High Educational Institutions continue to be indiscriminately disclosed through publications without benefit ofpatent protection;

Whereas, to promote a widespread culture of innovation and creativity, IPOPHL established a franchise system of patent libraries known as the Innovation and Technology Support Office (ITSO) to build the institutional capacity of the schools and universities to conduct their own patent searches, draft their patent applications and prosecute the same before the IPOPHL;

Whereas, to further encourage patent activities among the ITSO members and their collaborators as well as encourage the commercialization of the patented invention, an incentive package was established by IPOPHL to lessen the cost of obtaining patent protection by providing the necessary incentive in financing official fees associated with patent filing and prosecution as well as in the maintenance ofpatents through annuities after the patent grant;

Now, Therefore, IPOPHL hereby ESTABLISHES the Patent Protection Incentive Package (PPIP) , also known as the "Juan's Thousand Inventions" as a Project Component of the ITSO Franchise. Under the incentive package, IPOPHL shall WAIVE ITS FEES for the first 1,000 patent applications/registrations subject to the Rules for eligibility/qualification herein promulgated. The establishment of Juan's Thousand Inventions is without prejudice to IPOPHL's other forms of incentives.
