IPOS partners with various firms to raise IP awareness in Singapore

In Singapore, workers in IPR-intensive jobs are paid 9.2% more than those in non-IP-intensive jobs.

The Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS) will partner with NTUC’s Visual, Audio, Creative Content Professionals Association (VICPA) to raise IP awareness and proficiency amongst creators in Singapore over the next few years.

The partners will help VICPA members enhance IP value with resources like guidelines and case studies, and equip creators to manage and monetise their IP through training on licensing, negotiation, and commercialisation.

IPOS revealed that one in five jobs created in Singapore between 2017 and 2021 were from IPR-intensive industries, where employees were paid 9.2% more than those in non-IP-intensive industries.

IPOS will also continue upskilling initiatives with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Academy over the next five years to help businesses and IP professionals use IP for sustainable growth.

In addition, IPOS will also extend its partnership with the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) for three more years to enhance the maritime sector’s IP capabilities, including training companies and MPA on IP strategies and helping maritime enterprises, startups, and research institutions commercialise their IP.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
