IAM Patent 1000 Recommended

Cantab IP has been ranked Bronze for Singapore patent prosecution in the 2026 edition of the IAM Patent 1000, while Dr Chong-Yee Khoo has been ranked Silver in the individuals: prosecution category.

This continues last year’s recognition for both the firm and Dr Khoo.

IAM’s commentary reads:

A boutique with heavyweight credentials, Cantab IP “consistently provides timely and effective advice for securing meaningful patent coverage thanks to its very commercially-minded approach”. Spearheaded by Chong-Yee Khoo, the outfit punches well above its weight, drawing on vast legal know-how and an impressive command of complex technologies to deliver precise and cost-effective protection.

IAM also refers to Dr Khoo’s combination of PhD-level scientific training and extensive legal experience, and his work on inventive step, added matter and claim strategy in technically demanding cases.

We are very pleased by the continued recognition by IAM. It is particularly significant for a small specialist firm like ours. There are many IP firms operating in the Singapore patent prosecution market, including much larger firms with more resources at their disposal. We would like to think that Cantab IP’s inclusion in the IAM Patent 1000 reflects our ability to blend local knowledge with a wider international outlook and experience, helping clients and foreign associates navigate the Singapore patent system.

The IAM Patent 1000 is published annually and identifies patent professionals and firms in key jurisdictions around the world. According to IAM, the guide is compiled following an extensive research process involving interviews with attorneys, patent attorneys and in-house counsel.

We are grateful to our clients, foreign associates and colleagues who provided feedback to IAM’s researchers, and offer our congratulations to everyone else who made the list.
