DOST Intellectual Property Awards is part of DOST program, through NAST PHL, that aims to: (1) give incentives to DOST researchers and technology developers to encourage them to publish on international refereed journals; (2) register their developed technologies; and (3) boost the publication, patent and utility models outputs of DOST and its agencies.
The award also supports the goal of DOST to institute measures to improve the performance of Research and Development (R&D) institutions and to monitor and evaluate their R&D results.
