Intellectual Property: Domestic

Our Intellectual Property & Technology Practice helps emerging technology companies, startups, multinational corporations and brand-led businesses protect, manage and commercialise their innovations, technology and brand assets.

We advise across the full lifecycle of intellectual property and technology assets, from creation, registration and portfolio management to licensing, monetisation, enforcement and risk mitigation. Our team regularly handles complex, high-value and multi-jurisdictional matters, drawing on the firm’s regional network and knowledge of key Asian markets, including ASEAN, China and India.

Our disputes experience includes patent, trade mark, copyright and trade secret matters before the Singapore Courts and in arbitration. We also manage online and offline enforcement programmes, including anti-counterfeiting actions and domain name recovery.

On transactional matters, we structure and negotiate technology transfers, licensing arrangements, franchising agreements, research collaborations and other cross-border commercialisation transactions. We also advise on intangible asset strategies, policies, audits, valuations and risk management, and develop protection strategies for trade marks, patents, registered designs, confidential information and trade secrets. Our advice is practical, commercially focused and aligned with each client’s wider business objectives.
