Abstract/Summary
Intellectual Property protection is even more important in this study day and age, given the trend of globalization. One of the protections provided in the laws in copyright. The purpose of this is to protect the rights of the authors or creators of literary & artistic works. Under the Philippine law, for a work to be considered protected under copyright, it must have been expressed and must have originality. Expression is rather easy to determine as it merely putting into tangible form or saying the idea. Originality on the other hand is rather vague because among the countries' Intellectual Property that the researchers found only Singapore having the same originality concept as the Philippines, and all other countries have different originality provisions. This paper assesses, using comparative study of Copyright Laws from countries with different originality requirements, originality in the Philippines and whether the Philippine law should be amended amended to include a standard of creativity.
