Manila, Philippines — Several programs by the Department of Science and Technology - Technology Application and Promotion Institute (DOST-TAPI) aim to help in addressing concerns on financial and time constraints in patenting and commercialization technologies by Filipino inventors.
During the “PHILIPPiNEXT” held last July 14-16, 2025, at Okada, Manila, these concerns were raised, stressing how these technologies developed by Filipino inventors could have been used to address issues related to the climate crisis.
“There is also the tedious process of applying for intellectual property protection that inventors and innovators have to go through in order to be formally recognized. With such great investment of our inventors and innovators, the desire to commercialize a technology, or bring the solution to its intended users, becomes even greater,” DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy Decena said in her speech.
But what are the challenges faced by Filipinos innovators worldwide, and how can DOST-TAPI help in addressing these concerns?
