Intellectual Property
We steer clients through a range of contentious and non-contentious IP issues from the prosecution of IP rights, enforcement, litigation and commercialisation of IP assets. We also provide expert advisory services in other IP related areas including licensing, franchising, advertising, consumer protection, Internet and domain name protection, entertainment and media matters, gaming and regulatory approvals.
We act for many leading local and foreign brands across many industries and have the ability to manage large IP portfolios. We are continuously vigilant when it comes to the enforcement of our clients’ brands in the marketplace. Our lawyers have a good rapport with relevant government agencies, working closely with them on enforcement matters.
We can also file and prosecute trademark applications directly in Singapore and Brunei. We regularly act as coordinating agents for international and regional filings relating to trademark, industrial design and patent protection.
