Dear Chief Acosta,

May inaaral ako ngayon at sa aking palagay ay may madidiskubre akong bagong teorya na may kaugnayan sa siyensya. Nais ko lamang malaman kung maaari ko ba itong ipa-patent?- Julie

Dear Julie,

Para sa iyong kaalaman, sang-ayon sa Republic Act No. 8293 o mas kilala bilang “Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines”:


“Sec. 22. Non-Patentable Inventions. - The following shall be excluded from patent protection:

22.1. Discoveries, scientific theories and mathematical methods;


22.2. Schemes, rules and methods of performing mental acts, playing games or doing business, and programs for computers;


22.3 Methods for treatment of the human or animal body by surgery or therapy and diagnostic methods practiced on the human or animal body. This provision shall not apply to products and composition for use in any of these methods;


22.4. Plant varieties or animal breeds or essentially biological process for the production of plants or animals. This provision shall not apply to micro-organisms and non-biological and microbiological processes.


Provisions under this subsection shall not preclude Congress to consider the enactment of a law providing sui generis protection of plant varieties and animal breeds and a system of community intellectual rights protection:


22.5. Aesthetic creations; and

22.6. Anything which is contrary to public order or morality.”

Malinaw sa nasabing batas na hindi maaaring ipa-patent ang mga bagong tuklas kaugnay sa teorya ng siyensya. Kabilang din dito ang mga panuntunan at pamamaraan ng pag-iisip, paglalaro, pagnenegosyo, at programa para sa computer, paraan ng panggagamot, uri ng halaman o lahi ng aso, mga likhang estetika at anumang bagay na labag sa pampublikong kaayusan o moralidad.


Sana ay nabigyan namin ng linaw ang iyong katanungan. Ang payong aming ibinigay ay base lamang sa mga impormasyon na iyong inilahad at maaaring magbago kung mababawasan o madaragdagan ang mga detalye ng iyong salaysay.

Maraming salamat sa inyong patuloy na pagtitiwala.
