The second speaker, Ms. Agnes Manalo, continued the discussion and talked about the IP laws, regulations, and enforcement mechanisms that are currently practiced in the Philippines. To illustrate the key ideas and recommended approaches in technology transfer and IP management, she provided several examples. During the Q&A session, a question was raised regarding the steps in establishing the intellectual property rights of someone who is developing a certain device. Other questions focused on the use of logos such as those of NISMED and Go Teacher Go, a radio program initiated by NISMED and broadcast over DZUP. The attendees were glad to have attended an informative talk about an important matter.
