Revised Policy on Access to Theses and Dissertations (2017)

Revised Policy on Access to Theses

and Dissertations

  1. Mandate

This policy is rooted in the principles of Republic Act 10055, also known as the Technology Transfer Act of 2009, and the Revised Intellectual Property (IP) Policy of the UP System (2011).

 

RA 10055 recognizes that “science, technology and innovation are essential for national development and progress”, that it will “give priority to research and development, invention, innovation and their utilization” and shall therefore “establish the means to ensure greater public access to technologies and knowledge generated from government-funded R&D while enabling, where appropriate, the management and protection of related intellectual property.”

 

Copyright and Intellectual Property of research outputs of the University are further protected under the Revised IP Policy which underscores “the traditional academic practice of treating faculty members [researchers, students, staff and visiting professors] as   owners of inventions, works and other intellectual creations they  produce…”

 

The University is therefore committed to share knowledge and research for the benefit of the country while protecting the intellectual property of the University’s creators.



2. Scope

This policy covers theses and dissertations submitted to the University Archives and College Libraries of the University classified as F (Free/Open Access) under the FRN Memo 15-038 and not considered I (Invention), P (Publication), or C (Confidential  Information) under the OVCRD Memo BMP 12-011.
