The Department of Science and Technology’s FPRDI (DOST-FPRDI)was able last year toprotect the intellectual property rights (IPR) of seven of its technologies.
“This means that these seven technologies-- which can either be a product, process or information -- can no longer be copied, without the copier being punished by law,” says FPRDI’s Engr. Grecelda A. Eusebio.
“The DOST-FPRDI for six years now has regularly filed IPR applications with relevant agencies, in support of the Department’s goal to be more vigilant in guarding all of its intellectual property.”
