Here are the facts that you need to know…

Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind—such as inventions, brand names, and designs—that can be legally protected. IP rights ensure that creators benefit from their innovations while preventing unauthorized use. Techmatch helps you secure your IP with the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) and keeps you informed throughout the process.

Start by documenting your invention using an Invention Disclosure Form (IDF). Contact us through our website, and one of our patent specialists will guide you through the next steps.

Processing times vary by IP type:

    • Patent: 2 to 5 years (depending on complexity)
    • Trademark: 6 months to 1 year
    • Utility Model: 6 months to 1 year
    • Industrial Design: 6 months to 1 year

Yes! Through our international network, we assist in securing patent and trademark protection across multiple jurisdictions.

Beyond protection, we offer services to help you assign value, sell, or license your intellectual property through our IP marketplace and valuation services.
