Vision

“An effective Intellectual Property System widely recognized and strategically utilized to benefit and uplift the lives of Filipinos”

Mission

“A collaborative and a whole-of-society approach using effective and efficient advanced tools, and best practices for the creation, utilization, protection, and respect of Intellectual Property.”

The formation of the NIPS was a historic development in the Philippine innovation and creativity systems. IPOPHL, as the lead agency on IPR protection, focused on the overall inclusive vision for the intellectual property (IP) system for 2020 to 2025, which is to achieve “an effective Intellectual Property System widely appreciated and strategically utilized to benefit and uplift the lives of Filipinos."

Specifically, the main objectives are to:

• Ensure a robust, predictable, and efficient IP system and enforceable IP rights (IPRs);
• Improve knowledge production, innovation performance by Innovation and Technology Support Office (ITSO)
  partners, universities, colleges, and research development institutions (RDIs), and its productive links with industries;
• Develop a culture of innovation, creativity, and respect for IP through mainstreaming IP in the educational system and key sector;
• Enhance the productivity of selected priority industries where IP plays a major role;
• Consider improvements in certain areas of IPOPHL operation, and other government agencies to support
  challenges in the 4IR; and
• Promote the effective use of the IP system as a tool for economic, cultural, and scientific development.

In achieving the objectives, the NIPS laid down the S.P.E.E.D. strategies, charting the roles of IPOPHL and other relevant government agencies, educational institutions and the private sector in making the IP system a major contributor to the inclusive growth program of the current Administration.
