Intellectual property (IP) is a general term for the set of intangible assets owned
and legally protected by a company from outside use or implementation without
consent. An intangible asset is a non-physical asset that a company owns. Stemming
from its ability to provide a firm with competitive advantages, defining IP as an asset
aims to provide it the same protective rights as physical property. Obtaining such
protective rights is critical as it prevents replication by potential competitors.
There are three types of Intellectual Property: Patent, Trademark and Copyright.
A patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention which means to give Intellectual
Property Protection. It provides the patent owner with the right to decide how or whether
the invention can be used by others. There are three types of patent, invention, utility
model and industrial design. Inventions are covered by patents and it must be new,
have industrial application and include invented steps. Utility model is an improvement
to an existing creation. An industrial design constitutes the ornamental or aesthetic
aspect of an article. A design may consist of 3D features, such as the shape or surface
of an article, or of 2D features, such as patterns, lines or color. Industrial design is the
design itself, the layout, it is the curves to the thickness of a creation.
A trademark is a sign capable of distinguishing the goods or services of one
enterprise from those of other enterprises. Trademarks date back to ancient times when
artisans used to put their signature or "mark" on their products. In the Philippines,
trademark only covers visible signs or what you can see but in other countries they can
trademark smell or audio.
Copyright is a legal term used to describe the rights that creators have over their
literary and artistic works. Works covered by copyright range from books, music,
paintings, sculpture and films, to computer programs, databases, advertisements, maps
and technical drawings. Copyright is unique among the three types of Intellectual
Property because both Patent and Trademark still need to be registered unlike
Copyright that requires no deposit or any registration.
Internet Intellectual Property is the Copyright found in the internet. Nowadays,
you can get music or film in the internet which are protected by copyright by the artist
and no one can download it without the artist confirmation otherwise, it will be called
internet piracy. In the Philippines there is what we called Territorial Protection where if
you are not registered in the Philippines, you cannot be given protection for patents or
trademark but for copyright there is no registration required.
In the Philippines the patent for invention is good for 20 years from the time of
filing. For utility model is good for 7 years and no renewal, and 15 years or 5 years with
2 renewals for industrial design. In the case of trademark, the Philippines is one of the
oldest countries with existing trademark system back in Spanish era and it is good for
10 years after registration and with renewal for every 10 years.
The Intellectual Property Rights provide incentives towards various creative
endeavors of the mind by offering protections; it gives creators official recognition; it
creates repositories of vital information and it facilitate the growth of both domestic
industry or culture, and international trade, through the treaties offering multi-lateral
protection. Intellectual property protection is critical to fostering innovation.
Without protection of ideas, businesses and individuals would not reap the full benefits
of their inventions and would focus less on research and development.
