ASEAN: IPOS has become ASEAN's first ISA and IPEA

Dear users,

The Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS) has become the International Patent Search and Examination Authority under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) since 1 September 2015. Singapore is ASEAN’s first and fifth in Asia after China, India, Japan and the Republic of Korea, joining a group of 19 IP offices worldwide that have been appointed as international authorities for the PCT. Patent applicants to Brunei, Japan, Mexico, Laos and Vietnam will be the first to gain access to IPOS’ new service in the coming months.

Please refer to further details on the IPOS website http://www.ipos.gov.sg/. In case of questions or observations, please post them directly in this forum or please contact us at asiainfo@epo.org
