Course Description
The Philippine government has long adhered to the protection of intellectual property rights
(IPR). Consistent with the countrys commitment to honor international treaties, covenants
and agreements, the Philippines has continued to promulgate laws, regulations and
administrative procedures on IPR related matters aimed at ensuring respect for IPR. With
the promulgation of the Intellectual Property Code (Republic Act No. 8293), the Philippines
complied with its international undertakings and provided better protection for IPR.
This is a survey course covering the main areas of intellectual property law - patents,
copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets. It introduces each subject and explores
commonalities and differences among different systems of intellectual property protection.
It also gives an understanding of the philosophy and application of IP Law.
II. Course objectives
The course seeks to impart to the student skills, knowledge, attitudes and values in IP Law.
These include:

contract law play in supporting the production and distribution of information
in the marketplace?
