After a series of seminar workshops conducted by the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPhil), Guimaras State College was able to apply seven technologies for Patent. After a couple of months of waiting, three (3) formality Examination Reports were received by the Guimaras State College- Innovation and Technology Support Office from the IPOPhil.

In response, the GSC-ITSO conducted a Seminar Orientation on Patent Application Process to carefully deliberate all the details to be included in the response letter.

Gal and three of the ITSO staff members namely: Instr. Rodrigo G. Paglomutan Jr., Instr. Vivian S. Andaya and Ms. Daverose S.
