Are you a new inventor with an exciting new technology to share with the world?

Before taking the next big step with your invention, it’s very important to secure intellectual property (IP) rights for your technology, because nothing breaks the hearts of inventors harder than their precious work left unprotected from IP theft and all their efforts claimed by others.

Good thing the Technology Application and Promotion Institute (TAPI) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is helping local inventors and innovators in obtaining legal protection for their inventions through its Intellectual Property Rights Assistance Program (IPRAP).

To do this, DOST-TAPI relies on the expertise of patent agents who act as frontline advocates of inventors to ensure their technologies are legally protected.
