Singapore Trademark Registration

One price. No hidden fees.

Every Singapore trademark registration with JK Marcam is S$600 per class, all-inclusive. Before you engage us, the consultation and a basic clearance search are complimentary. Renewals, oppositions and international filings are quoted separately.

The process

1. Consultation. Non-obligatory consultation with our specialist to discuss your requirements and the eligibility of your mark for registration. We perform a free precursory search to check feasibility and determine the classification best suited to your mark.
2. Appointment. Appointment of JK Marcam as your trademark management partner. This allows us to act and respond on your behalf to trademark offices on trademark matters.
3. Assessment. We prepare a comprehensive assessment report to identify potential conflicts and objections and determine your mark’s goods and services classification. When the report is complete, we hold a final round of discussion to prepare your mark for filing.
4. Registration. We submit the finalised mark to IPOS, within 24 hours of your confirmation and payment. We liaise with IPOS on all matters relating to your registration and respond to office actions.
5. Approval. IPOS examination currently takes up to 9 months without office actions. We follow through until the completion of registration and notify you of all updates along the way. Accelerated examination is available for an additional official fee.

Requirements for your trademark

To register your trademark, it must:

• Be able to be represented graphically (in terms of a logo)
• Be capable of distinguishing your goods or services from others
• Be distinctive
• Not be descriptive of the goods or services, or customary in current language or established practices of the trade
• Not be confusingly similar to an existing trademark on the register

What we require

To proceed with a Singapore trademark registration, we will require the following:

• Applicant details: name, address, and country of incorporation (or UEN for a Singapore company).
• The trademark(s) in a good-resolution image file (JPEG or PNG).
• The intended classes and a description of the goods or services to be protected.
• Invoice party details, if different from the applicant.

We do not require any supporting documents unless requested.

Duration of trademark protection

The registration of a trademark is valid for 10 years from the filing date of the application. Protection can last indefinitely subject to the payment of renewal fees every 10 years, and with proper use of the mark. Please enquire for prevailing service rates.

After registration

Every mark we file includes three months of Basic Watch at no charge from its registration date, so you hear about identical filings in your classes while there is still time to oppose them. Appointing, changing or removing the agent, and changes of address or applicant details, are free for marks filed by us.
