The use of Intellectual Property by software developers has sparked particular interest in the global stage. This webinar focuses on improving the understanding of the potential of IP for income generation in mobile applications and empower mobile application developers with tools for using IP in their work. This activity provides an opportunity for local and international mobile app developers to exchange views and ideas, concepts in technology transfer, and establish connections, and business matching.

In view of this, Intellectual Property Office of the Philippine-Bureau of Copyright and Related Rights (IPOPHL-BCRR), in partnership with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), will be conducting a webinar entitled: From Development to Opportunities: A Pitching and Business Matching Session on Mobile Development, which will be held on Friday, 23 July 2021, via Zoom platform.
