Singapore Intellectual Property News

We are pleased to have been able to attend the CIPA Biotech Conference, held this year from 26 to 27 November 2009 at South Lodge Hotel, Horsham, West Sussex.

I’ll be attending this year’s “Trading Ideas” Symposium, organised by IPOS.

In May 2008, Vuestar sent invoices to Singapore websites asking for licensing fees for use of the “Vuestar System”. The “License fee” demanded appeared to depend on web traffic and “extent of image hyperlinking”.

Chong Yee gave a series of three 3 hour lectures on Biotech Patent Law and Practice to students on the Graduate Certificate in Intellectual Property (GCIP) course March 2009. The GCIP course is jointly organised by the IP Academy, Singapore and Faculty of Law, National University of Singapore.

Chong Yee gave two talks in February to the Singapore Fellowship of Inventors on patent infringement. The overall title of the talks was “David vs Goliath - The Infringement War”.
