A trade mark helps distinguish your business, products or services from others in the market. It may include a name, logo, brand element or other sign used to identify your business.
We can assist with:

- Coordinating preliminary searches
- Identifying relevant goods and services classes
- Preparing filing information
- Submitting or coordinating the application process

Trade mark protection can be useful for businesses looking to build brand recognition, prevent misuse of their brand identity and support future commercial expansion.

Certain business activities in Singapore may require licences, permits or approvals before operations can begin.
We assist clients with identifying and coordinating licence applications through the relevant government platforms and authorities.

Patent Filing Coordination
A patent protects an invention that meets the required criteria, such as novelty, inventiveness and industrial application.
Patent applications are technical and may require specialist drafting, patent agent support or legal advice. We can assist with coordinating the administrative aspects of the filing process and working with the relevant IP professionals where required.
Our patent support may include:
- Coordinating with patent agents or IP advisers
- Organising inventor and applicant information
- Preparing administrative filing details
- Tracking filing deadlines and status updates
- Supporting post-filing administration
- Coordinating renewals and maintenance reminders
We do not provide technical patent drafting or legal opinions on patentability. Where specialist advice is required, we can coordinate with suitable professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between a trade mark and a patent?
A trade mark protects brand identifiers such as names, logos or signs used to distinguish goods or services. A patent protects an invention that meets the required criteria.
2. Should I register my business name as a trade mark?
Registering a company or business name does not automatically provide trade mark protection. If your brand name or logo is important to your business, trade mark registration may be worth considering.
3. Can you guarantee trade mark approval?
No. Approval depends on the review by the relevant authority and whether the application meets the applicable requirements. We can assist with preparing and coordinating the application, but approval is not guaranteed.
4. Do all businesses need licences?
No. Licence requirements depend on the nature of the business activity, premises, industry and applicable regulations. We can help review your business activity and coordinate the relevant application process where required.
5. Can I start business operations before receiving a licence?
This depends on the activity and applicable regulatory requirements. Some activities require approval before operations can begin. You should confirm licence requirements before commencing regulated activities.
6. Can you help renew business licences?
Yes. We can assist with tracking renewal dates and coordinating licence renewals, amendments or cancellations where applicable.
7. How long does trade mark or patent registration take?
Timelines vary depending on the type of application, completeness of information, examination process, objections, clarifications and any third-party issues.
8. What information is needed for a trade mark application?
Common information includes the applicant's details, the trade mark representation, the relevant goods or services, and supporting information required for the application.
9. Can you help manage renewal reminders?
Yes. We can assist with maintaining records and tracking renewal dates for trade marks, licences and patent-related filings.
