Document background
The Copyright and Trademark Notice is essential for businesses and individuals operating in the Philippines who need to protect their intellectual property rights. This document is typically used when launching websites, applications, products, or services that contain proprietary content, branding elements, or creative works. It serves multiple purposes: establishing clear ownership of intellectual property, deterring potential infringement, providing notice to users about permitted and prohibited uses, and creating a legal foundation for enforcement actions. The notice must comply with the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines and consider international IP conventions that the Philippines has ratified. This document is particularly important in the digital age, where content can be easily copied and distributed, making it crucial for businesses to clearly assert and protect their IP rights.
