Zamboanga State College of Marine Sciences and Technology (ZSCMST) reaffirmed its commitment to agri-aqua innovation and technology commercialization by actively participating in the RAISE Summit Week 2025. Held on October 13 to 16, 2025, at Casiana Hotel, Tagaytay City, the summit gathered the nation's top minds under the rallying theme: "Building Bridges through ALIGNment, CONNECTion, and SYNChronization for Agri-Aqua Innovation." ZSCMST's delegation, composed of Dr. Maila V. Pan, OIC-Vice President for Research, Innovation and Extension and also the project leader of ZSCMST-IPTBM together with Dr. Marlon Dennis C. Ochoa, Director of Training and Extension Office and Mr. Conqueror M. Tabamo, Legal Assistant II, engaged in high-level discussions, networking, and strategic planning sessions aimed at boosting the regional agri-aqua innovation system. Their participation underscores the College’s dedication to translating research into real-world applications and economic opportunities.

A significant highlight of ZSCMST's involvement was the successful completion of a crucial training workshop by two of its representatives. Dr. Marlon Dennis C. Ochoa and Mr. Conqueror M. Tabamo officially graduated from the training workshop focused on crafting a spin-off policy and spin-off agreement. This achievement is pivotal, as it equips the College with the necessary institutional tools to effectively launch and manage new "spin-offs"—based on its intellectual property and research breakthroughs. This policy is essential for navigating the legal and operational complexities of technology commercialization, ensuring that ZSCMST's innovations successfully reach the market and benefit the community.

The acquired knowledge and expertise during the RAISE summit week will empower ZSCMST to strategically operationalize the summit’s theme. By formalizing agreements and policies, the College is now better prepared to ALIGN its research with business strategies, foster stronger CONNECTions between researchers and entrepreneurs, and SYNCHRONIZE its technology transfer efforts for maximum impact. This strategic investment in capacity building is expected to accelerate the flow of innovative technologies from ZSCMST, solidifying its role as a key player in the nation's innovation ecosystem and driving sustainable and inclusive growth in Zamboanga Peninsula.

The Office of the Vice President for Research, Innovation and Extension (OVPRIE) through the Technopreneurship and Innovation Office (TIO), Knowledge and Technology Protection Unit (KTPU) and Intellectual Property and Technology Business Management (IPTBM) Office hosted the IPTBM Echo Seminar 2.0: Introduction to Intellectual Property, Prior Art Search, and Claims Drafting on September 19 and 20, 2025.

Held in the ZSCMST Research Conference Room, the two-day intensive workshop brought together faculty researchers from different colleges of the institution. The seminar is specifically designed to re-echo the learnings from advanced IP courses attended by key ZSCMST personnel. It aimed to strengthen the participants' capacity to safeguard their intellectual creations, a critical step in advancing the college’s research, innovation, and extension (RIE) agenda.

The success of the IPTBM Echo Seminar 2.0 marks another significant stride for ZSCMST's Intellectual Property and Technology Business Management (IPTBM) Office in its continuous effort to build an IP-conscious academic environment ready to translate research excellence into protected, commercially viable technologies.

A significant milestone was achieved in the intellectual property landscape of the Zamboanga State College of Marine Sciences and Technology (ZSCMST) as the institution successfully secured the Certificate of Registration for the official logo of the Intellectual Property and Technology Business Management (IPTBM) office.

Issued on August 18, 2025, the registration formally protects the distinct ZSCMST-IPTBM logo, which is prominently captioned with the powerful and strategic phrase, "RIE PRODUCE PROTECT PROSPER."

The successful registration of this trademark is a crucial strategic step, solidifying the legal ownership and exclusive rights of ZSCMST over its institutional brand identity.

This milestone is hoped to serve as an inspiration and a tangible demonstration to faculty, researchers, and students of the critical role that Intellectual Property protection plays in transforming academic output into real-world impact.
