Quezon City (3 September) -- While everyone else is asleep, Janet is up at three o'clock in the morning tapping at the keyboard to do her paper works. Late in the afternoon, her energy level tumbles and she has to hit the bed at eight in the evening.
Meanwhile, Amy wakes up unhurriedly when most people are already in frenzied work mode. Her energy level then peaks as afternoon warms up, and can work until the roosters broadcast a new day. (+) | DOST, IPO sign implementing rules for RA 10055
Quezon City (3 September) -- The Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) for the Philippine Technology Transfer Act of 2009 was released by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPO).
The Technology Transfer Act, signed into law on March 23 and took effect last May 8, grants Intellectual Property ownership to research and development institutions that performed the research and development (R&D) using public funds. This paves the way for scientists to benefit from the results of public-funded researches. It allows scientists, state universities and colleges and research institutions to profit from research funded by taxpayers. (+) |
