🏢 In newly-released research from WTR, the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS) has been ranked as the most innovative IP office in the world for the first time. As trademark professionals the world over adapt to the challenges brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, the results of the IP Office Innovation Ranking shine the spotlight on how boundary-pushing tools and services – especially in the digital space – are able to help users in even the most difficult times.
📰 This year’s ranking, which analysed 50 IP offices from around the world, is topped by the Singaporean registry for the first time. In the last three editions of our research (2017, 2018 and 2019), the EU Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) topped the list, but it now sits closely behind IPOS, in second place. That’s not to say the EUIPO has slipped in any area – indeed, it continues to excel in most metrics. The result is therefore more indicative of the IPOS continuing to improve in various key areas, including its refined online platform and its ongoing push to help firms commercialise their trademarks and brands. Indeed, it comes only a matter of weeks after IPOS chief executive Daren Tang secured the nomination to head the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO), with his success at least partly down to his pledge – made in WTR – to transform IP offices “from administrating registries to innovation agencies”.
