Patent filing and prosecution services for overseas clients The modern Singapore Patents Act came into effect only in 1995. As such, the law - and the profession - is in its infancy. The options for prosecution and grant of patent applications in Singapore are many and complex. Further, many provisions of the Patents Act and Rules are worded curiously and, because of the “newness” of the Patents Act, we do not yet have the benefit of court decisions to shed light on their meanings. We can provide you with an understanding of these subtleties and their implications
It is our aim to add value to a case every time we pick up one up. We do not act simply as a “drop-box” carrying out instructions to the letter. Instructions to follow strategies acted upon in other countries are often entirely inappropriate for Singapore; the law here is different. Upon receipt of instructions for each case, we review the case, and the instructions carefully for conformity with best practice under Singapore law. We prefer to raise any potential concerns with our clients before a patent grants, rather than waiting until after it grants when it is too late or too expensive to take any corrective action.

We understand that for clients outside of the region, getting to know reliable intellectual property counsel can be very difficult.
