The Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) intends to eventually launch to the public its artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled analytics platform that contains comprehensive intellectual property-related data.
The country’s patent administrator recently introduced the Business Intelligence (BI) v2.0 Online platform. It features data visualization for IP information collected from over 50 years.
“With the launch of our Business Intelligence v2.0 Online, IPOPHL expects a dramatic improvement in its evidence-based decision-making processes through the use of real-time data visualizations, the power of descriptive and predictive analytics and, of course, actionable insights,” IPOPHL Director General Rowel S. Barba said in a statement. The said platform, for now, is intended for internal use only by IPOPHL, noting that its officials and key staff can now access a “unified view of curated and trusted dashboards containing critical information on performance and operations.”
But IPOPHL said it plans to make select data visualization available for public access in the “near future.” This is parallel with the “Open Data Philippines Initiative,” which seeks to compile government data in a single accessible database.
In addition, this initiative supports the Department of Trade and Industry’s efforts in monitoring the IP applications and assets.
“Transparency and efficiency, some of the core strengths of IPOPHL, are made even better. Indicators and metrics critical to IPOPHL’s goals and performance will practically be available at everyone’s fingertips, anytime and anywhere,” Barba added. “This complements our continued dependence on remote work arrangements where we need to ensure the quick flow of data that help us make informed decisions for our innovators, creators and businesses.”
