Singapore can help support businesses in IP market by providing strong IP environment: Shanmugam

As trademark filings for goods and service in the green space soar in Singapore, Law Minister K Shanmugam believes the country can help support businesses by providing a strong environment for intellectual property. In a note marking World Intellectual Property Day, Mr Shanmugam highlighted how trademark filings in the green space jumped 30 per cent in the past five years. Meanwhile, firms can now get data on patents for green technology more easily through an interactive tool. It is called Tech Insights through Patent, by the Intellectual Property Office Singapore (IPOS). Nicolas Ng reports.
