SG Copyright Act to come into force

The Act will strengthen the rights of creators and performers.

The Intellectual Property Office of Singapore and the Ministry of Law have jointly announced the promulgation of the new Copyright Act on 21 November.

Passed in Parliament in September, the Act enhances Singapore's copyright regime through its updated provisions, which factor in technological developments that have impacted how content is created, distributed, accessed and used.

New rights and remedies have also been put in place to reward and recognise the creative efforts and contributions of creators and performers, enabling them to get more exposure and more opportunities to commercialise their works.

Beyond supporting creators and performers, the Act also contains new exceptions to copyright owners' rights, known as "permitted uses," to ensure copyright works are reasonably available for use by the general public. These uses include computational data analysis and educational purposes.

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.
