Typically, a granted patent application must include one or more claims that define the invention. A patent may include many claims, each of which defines a specific property right. These claims must meet relevant patentability requirements, such as novelty, usefulness, and non-obviousness. The exclusive right granted to a patentee in the Philippines is the right to prevent others from commercially making, using, selling, importing, or distributing a patented invention without permission.
The Philippines is a signer of the World Trade Organization’s (WTO) TRIPS Agreement, and thus patents should be available in WTO member states for any invention, in all fields of technology, provided they are new, involve an inventive step, and are capable of industrial application.
Generally you must apply for a patent in each country that you seek protection in. Brealant offers patent applications in many countries besides the Philippines, please contact us for more information. You may also want to perform a Comprehensive Patent Search prior to patent application.
