Different vibes, same message: fake products are NOT it. 😵

Whether you say “Support authentic products” or “Original lang tayo, periodt.”, supporting genuine products means supporting creators, businesses, and hard work.

Counterfeits may look tempting, but choosing authentic helps protect creativity and IP rights. IYKYK. 👀

🥳 Kudos to the National Committee on Intellectual Property Rights - NCIPR! 👏🏻🥳

We're happy to announce that we've already reached the maximum number of Zoom attendees. We thank you for supporting Ateneo IP Week 2026!

There is IP on the field, in the courts... everywhere!

From the moment you step into a sports arena, you’re surrounded by different types of intellectual property (IP) that power performance, protect innovation, and elevate the fan experience.

From the brand names and logos on jerseys, the design of your favorite sneakers, the technology behind fitness trackers, to even the equipment used in training, IP plays a role in all of these.

So next time you’re on the court, in the gym, or cheering from the sidelines, remember, you’re also witnessing the power of creativity, innovation, and IP in action.

This National Intellectual Property Month, let’s celebrate how IP keeps the game moving forward.
