The problem

The longer you wait to file, the more you risk.

01
First-to-file

Singapore grants trademark rights to the first to file — not the first to use. Every day unfiled is a day a competitor can take your brand.

02
No local office needed

You can file without a presence in Singapore. IPOS requires a local address for service — we provide ours.

03
2 months

Once a conflicting mark is published, you have only 2 months to oppose. After that, stopping it gets far harder and costlier.

Features

Simple by design. Four reasons teams choose Brand Guard.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Every Brand Guard filing is handled by a Japanese Patent & Trademark Attorney (Benrishi, JPAA-registered) — the same IP professional qualification relied on by Japanese corporations for their global filings. Applications are filed with IPOS using our Singapore office as the address for service, and everything is completed online.
The first class is a flat US$699 and each additional class is US$499, IPOS official fees included. For example, filing in 3 classes costs US$699 + US$499 + US$499 = US$1,697 all-in. If a custom description of goods or services turns out to be required, additional IPOS official fees will apply at cost, and we will always confirm with you before filing.
Before filing, a Patent Attorney (Benrishi) reviews your mark and shares a registrability assessment with risk factors, so you can decide with your eyes open — this significantly reduces the chance of an unexpected rejection. If IPOS raises an objection (an "office action") after filing, we will explain what it means and your options, and quote the response work separately before doing anything. You are never charged for a response without your approval. Note that IPOS official fees are not refundable once an application is filed.
The online form takes about 4 minutes. A Patent Attorney (Benrishi) delivers a review with a registrability assessment within 3 business days, and once you confirm, we file with IPOS the same day or the next business day — an application number is issued upon filing. If there are no objections or oppositions, registration completes in approximately 9 months from filing (source: IPOS).
Every filing is handled by a Japanese Patent & Trademark Attorney (Benrishi, JPAA-registered) with over 20 years of IP experience, including managing global trademark and patent portfolios for major corporations. Applications are filed with IPOS using our Singapore office as the address for service.
Before registration, your mark is published for 2 months, during which third parties may file an opposition. We monitor this period for your application and notify you if anything is filed. After registration, your mark is valid for 10 years from the filing date and renewable indefinitely. We will send you a reminder ahead of the renewal deadline.
