THE Philippines is embracing innovation brought about by digital, and many of our government agencies are starting to adopt this in many parts of their operations. In the dynamic landscape of digital evolution in the country, the pivotal role of intellectual property (IP) rights, as defined by Republic Act (RA) 8293, cannot be overstated. RA 8293, or the 'Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines,' serves as the cornerstone of IP protection, encompassing copyrights, trademarks, patents and trade secrets. Understanding the synergy between RA 8293 and technology in general is crucial for fostering innovation, protecting creations and driving sustainable growth in the digital age.
