Intellectual Property

Branch of laws that protects ideas.Intellectual property (IP) is a category of property that includes intangible creations of the human intellect, and primarily encompasses copyrights, patents, and trademarks. It also includes other types of rights, such as trade secrets, publicity rights, moral rights, and rights against unfair competition.

Intellectual Property has 3 types

Patents- utility/ designs (inventions)

Trademark- logo, business or brand (signs)

We all know that the filipinos are naturally creative and innovative in their works or inventions. But how will we know if our rights is being protected and not being plagiarized? That's is why there is an Intellectual Property protected by law.

IP is protected in law by, for example, patents, copyright and trademarks, which enable people to earn recognition or financial benefit from what they invent or create. By striking the right balance between the interests of innovators and the wider public interest, the IP system aims to foster an environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish.

There is a law in the Philippines that is securing and enforcing legal rights to inventions, designs, and artistic works.

The law: Republic Act No. 8293 [An Act Prescribing the Intellectual Property Code and Establishing the Intellectual Property Office, Providing for Its Powers and Functions, and for Other Purposes] otherwise known as the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines.

List of Government Agencies in-charge of implementing the IPC:

• Bureau of Patents.

• Bureau of Trademarks.

• Bureau of Legal Affairs.

• Documentation, Information and Technology Transfer Bureau.

• Management Information System and EDP Bureau.

• Administrative, Financial and Personnel Services Bureau.

What is not protected by copyright? it is the tangible expression of facts and ideas that copyright law protects. The Copyright Act only protects works that are considered to be substantial. Subsequently, titles*, slogans, names, and short word combinations are not generally eligible for copyright protection.

And the examples of copyright that is protected by the Philippine Law is the Audiovisual works and cinematographic works, and works produced by a process analogous to cinematography or any process for making audio-visual recordings. In short the ones that we get on youtube and convert it to download.

We easily get some copies online without getting the permission of the owner. And we tend to change the original works to make it as ours. And sometimes it is hard to differentiate the original works and the derivative works that we see, for example Translating an English novel into Spanish, Remixing previously released music and etc.

Only copyright owners have the exclusive right to produce derivative works based on their original, copyrighted works. Copyright on original works of authorship is automatic, and registration—while it does carry significant benefits, like the right to sue for infringement—is not required for a work to be protected; protection attaches immediately when the work is completed. However, a copyright owner can grant permission to someone else to make a derivative work based on his or her original—if permission is granted (in the form of a license or assignment), then creation of the derivative work is not infringement.

Why is it important to protect intellectual property rights?

Your IP rights are important because they can:

-set your business apart from competitors

-be sold or licensed, providing an important revenue stream

-offer customers something new and different

-form an essential part of your marketing or branding

-be used as security for loans

You may be surprised at how many aspects of your business can be protected - its name and logo, designs, inventions, works of creative or intellectual effort or trade marks that distinguish your business can all be types of IP.

As student like me, what I'll do to promote proper use of media and information, I should stop illegal activities like downloading movies and songs from non-credited online converters online. Ask my friends to be aware on what we get online. And also I suggest that we trust ourselves that we can create our own and not plagiarized others. We all have our talents and uniqueness, so why not make our own styles.
