Trade Mark Services

Trade Marks & Brand Protection

At Cantab IP we understand that your brand is one of your most valuable assets. Whether you are launching a new product, expanding into the ASEAN region or safeguarding established branding, we deliver comprehensive trade mark services in Singapore and worldwide.

What We Offer

Trade Mark Registration in Singapore

We guide you through the full filing process with the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS) from identifying appropriate classes, drafting specifications of goods and services, preparing and filing the application through to office action responses, publication, registration and renewals.

International Trade Mark Protection

Using the Madrid Protocol and leveraging our network of foreign associates, we secure protection in key jurisdictions including South East Asia, China, Japan, Korea, India, Europe and the United States. This global reach ensures your brand is protected where you compete and plan to expand.

Strategic Portfolio Management

Beyond registration, we offer proactive advice on monitoring, enforcement, watching services, oppositions, renewals and exploitation strategies. We help you prevent brand drift, dilution or third party infringement.

Brand Clearance and Risk Assessment

Before you invest in a mark we can conduct due diligence clearance searches and risk analysis to identify conflicting marks, assess registration prospects and tailor your filing strategy accordingly.

Tailored for Growing Businesses and Multinationals

Whether you are a Singapore-based SME launching regionally, a start-up building a brand or a multinational seeking cohesive IP coverage, we bring the experience, technical insight and global network to support your goals.
