What is the purpose of the abstract in a Philippine patent application?
The abstract is a concise technical summary intended primarily for information and search purposes. Section 37, Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines, states that the abstract shall summarize the disclosure in preferably not more than 150 words and must allow clear understanding of the technical problem, the gist of the solution, and the principal uses of the invention. It serves merely for technical information and does not define the legal scope of protection. This aids patent examiners and the public in quickly identifying the nature of the invention. 21-Dec-25About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
