Law of Intellectual Property in Singapore

Law of Intellectual Property of Singapore aims to help practising lawyers (both in and outside Singapore) navigate through this complex IP landscape. This title provides the reader with the fundamentals of the major IP rights in Singapore - Copyright and related rights (registered designs, performers' rights); Trade Marks (passing off and the Trade Marks Act); Patents; Trade Secrets and other Confidential Information - including: - The international and regional dimensions relevant to Singapore (e.g. the WTO/TRIPS Agreement; the ASEAN IP Action Plan; the 2003 US-Singapore Free trade Agreement) - The IP story of Singapore: how its immature IP infrastructure grew from the early days of nationhood in 1965 to reach its current 'TRIPS-plus' status - The substantive law relating to the right (e.g. the criteria for its subsistence; ownership; infringement; defences; enforcement; commercial exploitation).
