CHED-ZRC to hold Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Seminar

In pursuit of the Lasallian mission for academic excellence, the CHED Zonal Research Center (ZRC) of De La Salle University-Manila continues to sponsor seminars for the benefit of the Lasallian community. On September 13, CHED–ZRC will be holding an Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Seminar from 8 a.m. to 12 noon at the Waldo Perfecto Seminar Room.

Topics include the Laws on Patents, Trademarks, and Copyrights and its Penal Provisions. The seminar is especially designed for academicians, school administrators, research officers, librarians, engineers, and scientists.

The speaker will be Lawyer Andre Philippe Betita, a senior associate in the Philippine law firm of Quisumbing Torres, an associated office of Baker & McKenzie. He specializes in Intellectual Property Law, Information Technology and Communications, and Licensing and Litigation.

Betita’s practice includes search and seizure operations and other enforcement actions, including criminal litigation against trademark and copyright infringes. He also participated in the consultative hearings held by the Philippine government on the drafting of the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines that has been passed into law and took effect in January 1998.

Headed by Dr. Rosemarie Montaño, the DLSU-M CHED-ZRC conducts seminar-workshops and training programs to help strengthen the research capabilities of higher education institutions (HEIs).
