THE Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) on Monday recommended the drafting of a law that will protect the intellectual property (IP) of indigenous people.
IPOPHL Director of the Bureau of Copyright and Related Rights Emerson G. Cuyo said there were âgapsâ in the current IP system.
âWe have expressed our observation that in fact there are gaps in the present or existing IP system, particularly with its emphasis on the exclusivity of intellectual property rights,â Mr. Cuyo said at a Senate Trade, Commerce, and Entrepreneurship committee hearing.
âSo our recommendation is to draft or devise sui generis a law or protection for our indigenous people. IPOPHL is willing to assist in the formulation of the proposed bill in this particular regard,â he added.
