Trade marks in Singapore are registered through IPOS, which examines and publishes each application before granting protection.

Trade mark registration in Singapore is handled by the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS).

The IPOS Registration Process #

Registering a trade mark involves a structured process to protect your brand. The main steps include designing your trade mark, choosing the products or services to claim in your trade mark application, researching existing trade marks to avoid conflict, and submitting your application. You can apply directly online or seek the assistance of a trade mark agent.

After Publication: Opposition & Registration #

After your application is filed and examined, it is published for opposition before the trade mark is registered.
