                    [Summary] => A senior trade official has expressed confidence the Philippines will not backslide and find itself back on the United States Trade Representative’s (USTR) special 301 Priority Watchlist.


According to Intellectual Property Office (IPO) director general Adrian Cristobal Jr., the government is working with all concerned agencies to assure that efforts to curb piracy and protect intellectual property rights (IPR) are on high gear. "There is absolutely no reason to be put back in the Priority Watchlist next year or in the years to come."

                    [Summary] => The Office of the United States Trade Representative (OUSTR) continues to "strongly urge the Philippines to sustain and broaden progress on intellectual property rights issues in order to avoid a potential return to the Priority  Watch List in the future."


In its latest website posting, the OUSTR reported that the Philippines was lowered from the Priority Watch List to the Watch List at the conclusion of an out-of-cycle review in February this year due to substantial improvements in IPR protection.
