In the Philippines, trademark rights arise only through registration, as it is a strict first-to-file jurisdiction. Trademark applications must be filed with the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines IPPHL.
Only in rare cases — such as well-known marks or those used before 1998 — may prior use grant limited rights.

The Philippines is a member of the Madrid Protocol, so it is possible to extend an existing international registration to this country. We also provide services for trademark filing through the Madrid System.
