Trademark Registration in Singapore

Securing exclusive rights to a brand name, logo, or slogan requires more than the submission of a form. The classes selected, and the manner in which goods and services are described, determine whether the resulting registration reflects the business it is intended to protect. Cat and Pillar takes the time to understand each client's business prior to filing, and manages the application through to registration. Registration is valid for ten years, is renewable, and Cat and Pillar has filed more than 1800 marks to date.

  • Filing and Examination. The application is drafted and filed under the appropriate classes, filed directly with IPOS for Singapore matters, with any objections managed by Cat and Pillar.
  • Registration. The mark is registered, valid for ten years and renewable, with reminders issued before each deadline.
