TRADEMARK COUNTRIES

Exporting your products and services to Singapore is an exciting opportunity for growth. Since Singapore is a highly competitive business environment, protecting your brand with a Singapore trade mark registration is a crucial first step to building a strong foundation for lasting success.

Why Register Your Trade Mark in Singapore?

A Singapore trade mark registration gives you:

• Exclusive rights in Singapore to use your brand for your registered goods or services.
• The legal tools to stop copycats and counterfeiters in Singapore.
• The ability to take action in Singapore Courts to enforce your rights.
• Border protection by recording your trade mark with Singapore Customs to stop counterfeit imports.
• The right to use the ® symbol within Singapore, showing that your brand is officially protected.

In short, a Singapore trade mark registration is an important and valuable business asset.

How the Process Works

We guide you through every step of the trade mark process in Singapore:

1. Search & Advice – We check if your brand can be registered and is clear to use in Singapore.
2. Application Filing – We prepare and lodge your trade mark application with the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS).
3. Examination & Publication – We manage status updates, examiner reports, objections, and possible oppositions.
4. Registration – We provide you with the IPOS trade mark registration certificate and advise you on proper trade mark use in Singapore.
5. Renewal – We remind you when renewal is due each ten (10) years.
6. Ongoing Support – We serve as your Address for Service in Singapore, ensuring you receive all official correspondence from IPOS.

What You Should Know

• Use is important: While you don’t need to show use when filing, you must use your trade mark in commerce to keep it valid.
• Strict rules apply: IPOS carefully examines trade marks to avoid confusion with existing trade marks.
• Foreign applicants: If you are outside of Singapore, you must appoint a local representative in Singapore to manage your application and official correspondence.
