00:00Philippine Creative Industries Month.

00:02This year, we will be talking with Atty. Anne-Claire Cabochan,

00:08Deputy Director General of the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines.

00:13Atty. Cabochan, good afternoon.

00:17Good afternoon to you too, Ms. Ninia, and to all the listeners and viewers.

00:24Atty., for our countrymen to understand better,

00:27what is Philippine Creative Industries Month,

00:31and what is its purpose and importance in our cultural and economic landscape?

00:39Philippine Creative Industries Month is included in the Philippine Creative Industries Development Act, or PISIDA.

00:49So, every September, from the time the PISIDA was passed into law,

00:55it is reserved for Philippine Creative Industries.

01:01So, throughout the month, there are a lot of activities for us to support and strengthen our creative industries.

01:11So, it is included in the Republic Act 11904.

01:16The purpose of celebrating Philippine Creative Industries Month is to strengthen our creative industries.

01:26Our creators, performers, and artists will understand their rights and responsibilities as creators.

01:41And we, as Filipino citizens and citizens of the Philippines, will appreciate the creative industries more.

01:51Who is the organizer of the Creative Industries Month,

01:56and what is the theme of this month-long nationwide celebration this year?

02:02Under the law, the Republic Act 11904, there is the Philippine Creative Industries Development Council.

02:11That is the overall policymaking body that is really implementing the Philippine Creative Industries Development Act.

02:21They are primarily responsible for all the activities during the September Philippine Creative Industries Month.

02:30Now, their lead agency is the Department of Trade and Industry,

02:36but the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines is one of the ten agencies

02:42that is a member of the Philippine Creative Industries Development Council.

02:47Okay.

02:48So, what is the specific role and contribution of the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines in this celebration?

02:57Ms. Nina, I forgot because you asked about what the theme was.

03:01So, for this year, the theme is, we are a creative nation.

03:06I really want to highlight that because according to the Philippine Statistic Authority's 2023 figures,

03:16our creative industries contributed 7.1% to the gross domestic product.

03:24So, the value of creative industries in 2023 was more than Php1.7 trillion.

03:35In the workforce, 7.26 million Filipinos are part of the creative industries.

03:42So, that sector is important.

03:46Intellectual property is very important for us to strengthen our creative industries.

03:56Our creators look for products, services, and goods.

04:07This comes from their own minds.

04:14That's why it's called intellectual property because we consider it as a rich mind.

04:21IP in intellectual property has a big role to play because just like any kind of property,

04:32our personal and real properties, IP needs to be protected.

04:39Because if we don't protect it, it can be taken by other people or even other entities that have nothing to do with creating.

04:52And our creators, instead of being able to give credit, their name in the creative industries changed

05:01and if they see it, they won't be able to benefit from it if it's not protected by IP.

05:10So, attorney, what are the intellectual properties, can you give us examples, that are affected in our creative industries?

05:21And what are the copyrights that are affected?

05:24First, I would like to really zero in on copyrights.

05:30Because our copyrights include books, songs, sculptures, paintings, even performing arts, even computer programs.

05:45Those are considered as copyrights and related rights.

05:50Now, the copyright is created by the artist or creator himself.

06:02So, for instance, for a painting, it's the painter who creates it.

06:06The sculptor creates the sculpture.

06:09If you are a composer, you are also the one who creates the composition or song.

06:17So now, this is what we call, they are capable of being registered as a copyright.

06:28Although, the registration does not need to happen for it to be considered as copyright.

06:36So, it is protected from the moment of creation.

06:40Now, at IPOFIL, we are telling them to register so that you have a document showing that you are the owner of the painting, song, dance,

06:58maybe if you are a playwright, the play that you are making, you are the owner of that.

07:04So, it is already of a public record, it is a registration, and you are protected when it is registered.

07:13So, for our creative industry to understand better, what kind of protection will it give so that we can allow them to register?

07:25And how does the creative industry include other types of intellectual property?

07:34Now, for instance, when we come to think of writers of books, they are protected from the moment of creation,

07:44but if they are registered through the Bureau of Copyrights and Related Rights,

07:51they will have constructive notice to the world.

07:57And for instance, if they want to get a license or reproduce a certain portion or probably make it into a film,

08:07the other businesses or entities will know who they will approach.

08:16And what they will see is the real owner of the intellectual property.

08:23So, copyright is just one of them.

08:28Although, there are also other intellectual property that is still related to creative industries like trademarks.

08:39Trademarks are like branding so that a product will be recognized.

08:46So, the trademark or utility model or industrial design, for example,

08:53the furniture that a lot of Filipino furniture designers around the world are familiar with,

09:02their creation can be registered as an industrial design.

09:07So, the outer appearance, even the bottle, like soft drink bottles, they have a certain bottle,

09:19that can also be an industrial design.

09:22Utility models or even patents, they can still be applicable in our creative industries.

09:32But really, when we talk about the domains that are included in the Republic Act 11904,

09:40most of them are really under copyrights and related rights which are protected from the moment of creation.

09:49And along with the PCIM celebration this year, you will launch the Creative Industries website.

09:57Can you give us more details about this?

10:01Ms. Nina, actually because the lead agency here is DTI, they would be in a better position to talk about that.

10:08But just to say that for this celebration of Creative Industries Month,

10:14the Philippine Creative Industries Development Council launched the website.

10:20It is a one-stop shop.

10:23So, if you visit www.philippinecreativeindustries.com,

10:28you will see a lot of information there.

10:32There are creators, even creative businesses, government agencies.

10:38If you need funding, and maybe you can tap for funding, you can see it there.

10:47There are a lot of interactions happening on the online platform if you visit that platform.

10:56And it also shows all the activities that are ongoing for this month.

11:02Okay. For those who want to visit the Philippine Creative Industries Month this year,

11:09where and how can they register?

11:17If you go to the Philippine Creative Industries website, the one-stop shop,

11:25there will be links there that will allow you to register for a particular activity.

11:31So, please visit that website so you can access all the activities for this month

11:38and register for the activity that you want to be a part of.

11:43Attorney, where is the main venue for these activities?

11:48Or where are the venues?

11:52Actually, Madam, the venues are different.

11:55Because we are also in the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines.

11:59As one of the agencies, a member of the Philippine Creative Industries Development Council,

12:06we also have activities that are being rolled out in support of the Creative Industries Month.

12:13So, our bureaus have seminars on basics of IP or even on IP valuation and commercialization

12:24because we want the creations to know how to value.

12:31So that they also know if they will sell or license it,

12:35that they have an idea of what it is worth so that they will not be shortchanged

12:41in their savings of sweat and time.

12:46And in our other activities, the venues are different

12:56because the opening of Misnina was at Trinoma Mall Activity Center.

13:03We wanted, well, I think that the council really wanted that it is something that is close to all Filipinos.

13:14So, if it's in a mall, people can pass by.

13:18So, that was the opening of Creative Industries Month.

13:24There are many other activities all over the country that you can see on the website that we are mentioning.

13:33And whether you are in the Visayas or Mindanao or NCR, you can go to activities.

13:41And for the part of the IPO Phil, we have an activity not in September but in support of Creative Industries.

13:50This is the second Philippine Copyright Summit that will take place from October 21 to 25 in Novo Telpo.

14:02We will be waiting for that.

14:04And come back to Bagong Pilipinas now to promote the October IPO Phil, your event.

14:11Okay, thank you very much for your time.

14:14And for us, Attorney Anne Claire Cabochan, Deputy Director General of the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines.

14:22Thank you very much.
