Intellectual Property

Global trade continually exposes the local market to new products and services whilst providing local businesses the opportunity to venture out to international markets. In coping with international and local competition, we can help our clients establish a strong brand image which provides their business with a powerful means of promoting and marketing their products and services. We can also help our clients safeguard their new inventions, which are inevitably vulnerable to exploitation by others when utilized or marketed.

Our services include processing applications to register trademarks, designs and patents in Singapore as well as worldwide, through our extensive network of foreign associate firms.

At CNPLaw, we offer integrated IP services to domestic and foreign clients from a variety of business sectors. Additionally, CNPLaw handles litigation of complex IP matters and, in our unwavering commitment to ensure enforcement of our clients’ rights, our team advises on the following areas:

• IP Portfolio Management

• Anti-piracy campaign

• IP Audits

• Enforcement of IP rights

• Copyright matters

We have also assisted many clients from our corporate practice groups in applying for the registration of their company mark upon listing, and by rendering advice on issues pertaining to IP faced by newly incorporated companies, such as trade mark infringement arising from commercial use of their company marks, amongst others.

As IP are invaluable assets, we can advise you on how to commercially exploit your IP, for example through IP licensing, franchising, merchandising and sponsorship and brand management strategies.
