THERE is money in research, not just honors. This was the message to young scientists who were encouraged to think of “investing” in the commercial value of their intellectual property (IP) by having them protected, in other words patented or registered.
The suggestion was made by Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IP Philippines) Director General Adrian Cristobal Jr., who spoke before students and teachers of the Philippine Science High School (PSHS) in Quezon City on Monday.
Cristobal told students that the benefit of protecting their work does not accrue to them but to their country, as well.
Cristobal was guest at the opening exhibit marking the Youth Math and Science Technology Week at the PSHS main campus on Agham Road, Quezon City. Some 80 science and technology research projects were featured.
At that time, IP Philippines and the PSHS also signed a memorandum of understanding to promote a better IP environment among students and teachers of the pioneer and premier science high school. read more...
