Registered Design Services

Registered Designs & Industrial Design Protection

At Cantab IP we understand that a unique design is more than aesthetics. It is a strategic business asset. Whether you are manufacturing consumer products, high-end hardware or industrial equipment, we provide full-service registered design protection in Singapore and worldwide.

What We Offer

Singapore Registered Design Filing and Prosecution

We guide you through the registration process at the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS) from conducting prior design searches where needed through preparing drawings to filing, registering and maintaining your registered design rights.

Global Design Protection

Using the Hague system and leveraging our network of foreign associates, we extend your design rights framework beyond Singapore into key jurisdictions including South East Asia, China, Japan, Korea, India, Europe and the United States.

Design Portfolio Management and Enforcement Strategy

We support you not only in registration but in maintenance, renewal and enforcement. We are able to monitor competitor filings, handle revocations or invalidations where required and assist in leveraging your designs commercially.

Advice Tailored to SMEs, Manufacturers and Design-led Enterprises

Whether you are a Singapore-based start-up launching a physical product, an international brand translating your design vision into multiple markets or a manufacturer seeking to protect incremental design variations, let our technical insight, design law experience and global help you reach your needs.

Why Choose Cantab IP for Your Design Work

Deep Technical and Regional Experience

Our registered design attorney has held specialist credentials such as registration as a European Design Attorney at the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). He brings years of industrial design know-how together with multijurisdictional prosecution experience.

Singapore-Based, Globally Connected

Our location in Singapore gives us direct insight into local design law, manufacturing ecosystems and ASEAN supply chains. Our global network means we coordinate international filings efficiently and consistently.

Commercial Minded Approach

We do more than secure rights. We assess how your design rights align with your business goals such as market entry, manufacturing, licensing and branding. Your design protection strategy becomes a lever for competitive advantage.

Clear Process, Transparent Fees and Responsive Support

You will work with a dedicated attorney who explains the design registration process, provides clear fee estimates and keeps you informed and updated at each stage of the process.

How We Work With You

  1. Initial Consultation: We review your design, product market, intended jurisdictions, manufacturing timeline and commercial goals.

  2. Filing strategy: We suggest the appropriate classes under the Locarno classification where applicable, drawing or photo requirements and whether to file individually or as a series of designs.

  3. Filing and Prosecution: We prepare the application in Singapore or overseas, submit to IPOS or foreign offices as needed, handle official correspondence and guide you to registration.

  4. Maintenance and Renewal: We manage renewals and help ensure your design portfolio stays active and effective.

  5. Enforcement and Global Roll-Out: We help you enforce rights against copying or imitation, support licensing or transfer of design rights and plan expansion into additional jurisdictions as your product evolves.
