| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| 8293 Section 21 | Patentable Inventions States that an invention can be patented if it is new, involves an inventive step, and is industrially applicable. |
| 8293 Section 22 | Non-Patentable Inventions Lists things you cannot patent, such as mere discoveries, mathematical formulas, rules of games, and aesthetic creations. |
| 8293 Section 21 and Section 22 | What can and cannot be patented? You invent a completely new, functioning solar-powered engine. You can patent this (Sec 21). However, if you simply discover a new mathematical equation to calculate gravity on Mars, the IPO will reject it (Sec 22). |
| 8293 Section 23 | Novelty An invention is only novel if it does not form part of "prior art." |
| 8293 Section 24 | Prior Art Defines prior art as anything made available to the public (anywhere in the world) before your filing date. |
| 8293 Section 23 and Section 24 | Is it truly new? You invent a "self-tying shoelace" and claim it's novel (Sec 23). But the patent examiner finds a YouTube video from Japan uploaded last year showing the exact same mechanism, meaning your invention is no longer new. |
| 8293 Section 25 and Section 26 | The Exceptions and the "Expert" Test You demonstrate your new drone at a college science fair and file for a patent 6 months later—you are still safe. However, your "invention" can't be just duct-taping a flashlight to a drone |
| 8293 Section 25 | Gives the inventor a 12-month grace period. If you accidentally leaked your invention before filing, it won't ruin your patent application as long as you file within a year. |
| 8293 Section 26 | To be patented, an invention must not be "obvious" to a person skilled in that specific field. |
| 8293 Section 32 and Section 33 | The Application Process A Korean inventor wants a Philippine patent. They submit their blueprints and technical descriptions, but because they live in Seoul, they must hire a Filipino lawyer or patent agent to handle the local paperwork |
| 8293 Section 32 | The Application Lists the required paperwork: a request, a description, claims, drawings, and an abstract. |
| 8293 Section 33 | Appointment of Agent If the applicant is not a resident of the Philippines, they must appoint a local resident agent to represent them. |
| 8293 Section 55 | Annual Fees You must pay an annual fee to maintain your patent rights. |
| 8293 Section 56 | Surrender of Patent The owner has the right to voluntarily surrender their patent. |
| 8293 Section 55 and Section 56 | Maintenance and Let-Go You hold a patent for a kitchen gadget, but it is not making any money. You can simply stop paying the annual maintenance fee (Sec 55) or formally write to the IPO to surrender it (Sec 56) so the public can freely use the design. |
| 8293 Section 40 | Filing Date Requirements To get an official filing date, you must submit intent for a patent, applicant info, and invention description/claims. |
| 8293 Section 41 | According a Filing Date The IPO checks your submission. If incomplete, your official filing date is delayed until all missing parts are received. |
| 8293 Section 40 and Section 41 | The Filing Date You submit basic info for a backpack to get a filing date (Sec 40). You forgot the claims, so the IPO delays your filing date to tomorrow when you submit them (Sec 41). |
