Abstract

This study presents a preliminary survey of the innovation landscape within Philippine Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), utilizing patent data as a key indicator for innovation activity. It reveals a strong focus on ‘Human Necessities’ (IPC Section A), particularly in foods/foodstuffs (A23L) and medical/veterinary science and hygiene (A61K). Areas like textiles and paper, fixed constructions, and new technological development show limited activity, suggesting potential areas for future growth and exploration given the Philippines’ skilled workforce. This study emphasizes the utility of patent data as an objective measure and proxy for innovation activity in HEIs.
