Singapore, Cambodia sign MOU on patent recognition

It will soon be easier for those in Singapore and Cambodia to apply for patents and industrial designs in either country.

SINGAPORE: Applicants can soon enjoy greater ease of application for patents and industrial designs in Cambodia and Singapore by being able to file in either country, the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS) said on Saturday (Jan 24).
This follows the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between IPOS and Cambodia's Ministry of Industry and Handicraft (MIH) on Jan 20.
The arrangement between IPOS and MIH complements ongoing patent work-sharing programmes like the ASEAN Patent Examination Cooperation (ASPEC) to support businesses seeking faster IP protection in the region.

"By having a simplified front-end registration, and similar back-end examination system, businesses will benefit from the ease of application and consistent outcome," IPOS Chief Executive Tan Yih San said in a statement. "This is a significant step for companies in ASEAN to explore and grow their businesses as the ASEAN Economic Community integrates."
