Designs
Protection Outside Singapore
1.
Must I apply for a design in Singapore before seeking protection overseas?
It is not mandatory to apply for a design in Singapore before seeking protection overseas. However, if your design is registered in Singapore, you may apply for registration in other countries (Paris Convention countries and World Trade Organization (WTO) Countries) using the Singapore application as a priority claim.
2.
In which countries should I apply for design protection?
The decision whether to apply for design protection is a commercial one. It generally depends on whether you intend to exploit your design in the country or may possibly wish to exploit it in future. Even if you have no intention of using the design in a country yourself, you can consider applying for a design registration for the purpose of granting licences in that country. When applying overseas, you may use the Singapore application as a priority claim for your design application in any country which is a party to the Paris Convention or World Trade Organization (WTO).
3.
If I need the Registrar's certification regarding my application in Singapore in order to obtain priority in filing a design application in another country, how do I go about obtaining it?
You can obtain a certified copy of your application/registration by lodging
Form CM12
together with the prescribed fee. The Registry will send you a Certified Copy of the application/registration details.
