Gov’t’s IP agency completes digital database of IP cases
The government agency in charge of safeguarding intellectual property in the country announced that it has completed a digital library of cases in the Philippines.
The IP Case Database, to be formally launched on February 22, has been turned over by Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IP Philippines) to its partner agencies in the National Committee for Intellectual Property Rights (NCIPR).
The IP Case Database is a Web-based application that provides real-time updating of IP violation cases filed with the Department of Justice (DoJ) by law enforcement agencies, and document tracking for the Philippine National Police (PNP), National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), Optical Media Board (OMB), Bureau of Customs (BoC), the DoJ, and IP Philippines.
"The IP Case Database is a central repository of data and information on intellectual property cases for strategic and tactical decisions of NCIPR members. We have embarked on this project in the interest of transparency in government operations," Adrian Cristobal Jr. director general of IP Philippines, said in a statement.
The creation of the IP Case Database forms part of the nine-point directive of Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in her November 17, 2006 memorandum to the NCIPR, "IP Philippines shall maintain a database and enforcement monitoring system, and consolidate information and reports from other agencies."
In the PNP and NBI module, authorized users can search for existing warrants, draft new files of cases, and access the case master list. The general information field in the module contains details of warrants of arrest, and status or report content that require data from the users.
Some of the information fields that are being accomplished include the complainant or plaintiff, the defendant or accused, search warrant number, enforcement area, seized items, estimated commercial value of the confiscated pieces, and the type of violated law and charged offense.
Similarly, the OMB and BoC module contains the same fields for the input of information with the inclusion of inspection details. Authorized users of the four agencies forward the new cases to the DoJ, which then completes the required fields and submits the accomplished form to the lower courts for appropriate action.
IP Philippines can likewise upload new cases to the database. It can also generate a master list of complainants and defendants, and the list of cases listed by the six agencies.
After the completion of data uploading from the agencies scheduled late February, the Intellectual Property Case Database (http://ipcdl.ipophil.gov.ph) can be accessed by IP owners.
The IP Case Database will be unveiled during the first meeting of the Public Private Partnership Council for Intellectual Property Rights (P3CIPR) in 2007. The council was established in 2005 to serve as a venue for consultation, coordination and cooperation between the government and private sector in strengthening the IP system.
