    Description:

    As soon as Congress enacted Republic Act No. 8293, the Intellectual Property Code, principally authored by the late Senator Raul Roco, I wrote a book on the new code for all who were interested in the law, lawyer or not. Simplicity of exposition as well as completeness and exhaustiveness of treatment were the key norms that guided my writing of that early treatment of a law that heretofore had received rather scant attention. In fact, in many law schools, till this day, Intellectual Property Law is tucked away in some corner of the humongous subject called “Commercial Law.”
    Not only have new laws been passed — the Plant Variety Protection Act, the Law on the Topography of Integrated Circuits, and, more importantly, the Cheaper Medicines Acts and the law expressly amending the copyright provisions of the IP Code. There also have been developments in international law that are significant to the subject because our Intellectual Property Code is verily the result of our obligations under the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, one of the documents constitutive of the latest round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trades, administered by the World Trade Organization. Our Supreme Court has also passed on different provisions of the law. All this called for updating of the work — hence, this 2014 edition.
