Collective Marks as a Tool for Development: Philippines

The Development Agenda Project on Collective Marks in the Philippines is working in the Bicol Region with Orgullo Kan Bicol Association (OKB), which brings together producers of nuts, pastries, handicrafts, cosmetic and other products coming from Pili, a tropical tree that grows in the volcanic soil of the Philippines.

WIPO has teamed up with the National IP Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL), the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and other local institutions to assist OKB in the development of a collective mark for their products.
