The 2020 Revised Rules of Procedure for Intellectual Property Rights Cases (Revised Rules) will take effect on 16 November 2020. In light of the objectives of the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines (IP Code) to develop domestic and creative activity, to facilitate transfer of technology, to attract foreign investments and to ensure market access for local products, the Revised Rules were promulgated to expedite the resolution of disputes involving trademarks, patents, copyrights and other intellectual property (IP) rights.
