Trademark registration
in Singapore.
Trademark registration provides greater legal protection to your brand and safeguards the intellectual property. Let us support you in getting your trademark registered in Singapore to avoid any conflicts with other brands and be able to use the mark legally.
What is a trademark?
A trademark is a type of intellectual property protection that distinguishes the goods and services of one trade from others.
The trademark must be able to be represented graphically. You can register your trademark under two conditions: you are already using the mark, or you intend to use it soon. It is important that your trademark is active continuously for a minimum of three years to avoid the non-use cancellation action.
Benefits of registering a trademark.
The benefits of having your trademark registered is that it gives you full ownership and exclusive rights to use the trademark in Singapore and other jurisdictions. The owner of the trademark has the right to bring up a suit against any other person who is using the trademark without permission.
Simple steps to start your new business.
1. Conducting a comprehensive study or trademark search
Before filing your application, a trademark search needs to be conducted on the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS) database to make sure there are no similar trademarks already registered.
2. Trademarks journal examination
If the trademark is registrable, the application will be published in the Trademarks Journal for public inspection for two months. If an examiner has objections, the company will be notified and has four months to respond, otherwise the application may be removed.
3. Obtaining the registration certificate
If there are no objections to your trademark, the objection is withdrawn or decided in favour of the applicant, the trademark will be registered. You will receive a registration certificate that is valid for 10 years.
