Reflection Paper for the three-day Seminar about Hybrid Capacity Building on "Basic Intellectual
Property"

Day 1 ( April 27, 2022)

Attending this seminar is truly beneficial for us research students because having this knowledge is an
advantage that we can use for our future research studies. So I'm very thankful that they conducted this
seminar. When I initially heard about this seminar, I assumed it would be dull, but after listening to it, I
was blown away since the topics were so intriguing that they captivated our attention. As an outcome,
here are some of the things I learned from the seminar. 

Ma'am Mariam Milagros Gomez was the first presenter on the first day. She introduced and discussed
patents, which are legal terms that grant the right to exclude others from creating, using, or selling an
invention for a set period of time. The Abstract, Drawings, Claims, Disclosure Embodiments, and
Introduction are all separate portions of a patent. Any technical solution to a problem in any sector of
human activity that is original, comprises an inventive step, and is industrially applicable is a patented
invention. It could be a product or a method, or an improvement on any of the aforementioned (Sec. 7,
R. A. No. 165a). Patentable inventions fall into four categories: 1. 2. a procedure 3. a machine four.
manufacturing Ma'am Gomez also emphasized matter composition, which means that the invention
must be new. When determining the uniqueness of an invention, the "prior art" will almost always be
written materials discovered during the search: patent publications, papers, or articles. An imaginative
step is one that is not clear to those who are familiar with the technological subject.

Several significant concepts to consider throughout the inventive process include: obvious, skilled
individual, common general knowledge, technical features, technical effects, and technical challenges.
Inventions that are industrially useful can be made and employed in any industry. Ma'am Rich Baston is
the second presenter. She spoke on patentable subject matter and several sorts of patents. She
discussed patentable inventions, which include anything created by humans or any innovation resulting
from human creativity.

There are also inventions that are not patentable, such as those that violate the law of gravity or those
that could hurt humans, plants, or animals. What do non-inventions entail? It can be everything found in
nature, including physical phenomena and abstract thoughts. Ma'am Rich also talked on the five
standards for patentability: 1: the patent subject matter must be patentable, 2: it must be useful, 3: the
invention must be original (new), 4: the innovation must be nonobvious, and 5: it must be helpful.
Patents are divided into four categories: innovation patents, utility model patents, design patents, and
design patents. "IDEAS CAN NOT BE PATENTED, INVENTIONS CAN "as written in the last slide of Ma'am
Rich's Presentation.
 Day 2 ( April 28, 2022)

On the second day of the conference, the morning speakers were Mrs. Elena, Dr. Vivian, and Engr.
Floro, Jan. They discussed plagiarism and fraud, failing to complete a research proposal, research
partnerships, and options for collaborations such as capacity building, resource sharing, research grants
and funding, and research collaboration. The basic education research agenda was discussed, including
the themes of teaching and learning, child protection, and governance. DRRM, Gender and
Development, and Inclusive Education are all cross-cutting themes. They also talked about the ITSO's
functions, the service price schedule, their accomplishments and achievements, as well as sharing ideas
and learning more about the SSU-ITSO team. Ma'am Ivy's presentation is the last one of the morning.
She went over IP policy, IP history, and IP classification in detail. Patents, utility models, industrial
design, geographical indications, trademarks, and copyright are all examples of intellectual property.

The Review on Patent Classifications, IP Promotion and Development, and the Benefits of Patent
Protection: Exclusive Market Control; Licensing or the transfer/sale of rights; Market Positioning and
Prestige Innovation Index aims to capture the dimensional aspects of innovation and provide tools that
can assist in tailoring policies to promote long-term output growth, improved productivity, and job
growth. In addition, Ma'am Ivy discussed the Patent Auction, IP Incentives, and IP Utilization.

And for afternoon session Mr. Nikko Floretes addressed and discussed IP infractions. What is Intellectual
Property Rights Infringement? Trademarks, Industrial Designs, Patents, and Copyrights It refers to the
illegal usage, sale, or manufacture of any IP-enabled gadget. IP holder, Institute Art Legal Actions,
Exclusive Right, and Monopoly are all examples of IP owner rights. Patent infringement occurs when
someone makes, uses, or sells patented items without the permission of the patent holder. There are
two types of patent infringement: literal infringement, which occurs when the item completely copies
every feature in the patent's claims, and infringement by implication, which occurs when the item
completely copies every feature in the patent's claims.

The doctrine of equivalents is the second sort of patent infringement. The infringing item is the patent's
equivalent. The use or production of copyrighted items without the owner's consent is known as
copyright infringement. Plagiarism is when someone claims someone else's work or idea as their own
without citing the source. He also highlighted copyright examples such as books, artworks, pamphlets,
computer programs, musical compositions, and more. What exactly is Copyleft? A concept that allows
specific software and computer terminology to be handed on to others. Infringement of a trademark
occurs when someone uses the same word, phrase, mark, symbol, or logo. We should avoid IP
Violations, Patent Infringement, Copyright and Trademark Infringement, according to the presentation.
Sir Nikko also talked about student and faculty IP problems. He spoke about IP Lawsuits in Academics
and Intellectual Property Cases.

Day 3 ( April 29, 2022)

On the last day of the webinar, I'd want to express my gratitude to all of the webinar's personnel,
speakers, and professors. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the EVRSHS students. I've gained a
lot of knowledge. I also learned valuable research skills. This webinar also covered the various
occupations or jobs that we might like to pursue in the coming year, as well as the obstacles that
prevent us from doing so. The patent auction was my favorite topic that was mentioned. An invention is
protected by a patent, which is a type of intellectual property. For a specified amount of time, it grants
the inventor exclusive rights to create, use, and sell their creation. There are three types of patents:
utility patents, design patents, and design patents. Utility patents protect the functional aspects of an
invention. They can be utilized to give inventors more control over how and why things are done. in
addition to when their device is in use Machines, techniques, or chemical compositions that give a new
approach to solving a problem in our daily lives are covered by utility patents. A device's aesthetic
characteristics are protected by design patents. They protect an invention's unique shape and look
rather than how it functions. Design patents can be utilized to offer inventors control over the
appearance of their product without infringing on other copyrights or trademarks, such as trademarked
logos or artwork. Plant patents are filed with the USPTO to protect new plant varieties.Only asexually
reproduced plants are covered by the patent. This means that seeds and cuttings from the plant are not
protected. Plant and utility patents are valid for 20 years, whereas design patents are valid for 14 to 15
years. Patents provide an inventor with the exclusive right to make anything. Their invention can be
used and sold. This allows them to profit from their work while also ensuring that it is protected from
infringement by others. It aids in the protection of innovators' intellectual property rights and
guarantees that they are given credit for their creations. Patents offer precise information about how an
innovation works to third parties without infringing on its rights. This can boost sales by safeguarding
intellectual property from competitors who could take ideas rather than develop them independently.
