IPOPHL Deputy Director-General Teodoro C. Pascua said during a talk with reporters at the recent ITSO Presidents’ Summit in Makati that IPOPHL is encouraging schools to emphasize R and D that will lead to more products with patents and trademarks.

The school’s inventions are also being pushed matched with the industry for their practical application and commercialization. The Philippines was ranked as the most improved in the latest Global Innovation Index because of more patents and registration for utility models. To encourage schools to pursue R and D outputs that will lead to patents and copyrights, Pascua said IPOPHL is urging the Commission on Higher Education to double the points for inventions from the current 5-7 to 15. These points are needed for school’s accreditation for higher education.

Pascua cited the case of Singapore whose economy is driven by strong technological inventions because of the government’s focus towards technological advancements.
