Background
The Intellectual Property (Dispute Resolution) Bill (“Bill”) was passed in the Singapore Parliament on 5 August 2019, and the Intellectual Property (Dispute Resolution) Act (“Act”) will be gazetted and come into force at a later date. The Bill sets out the various amendments that will be made to the relevant statutes that govern intellectual property (“IP”) rights, and is intended to simplify and streamline the dispute resolution process in relation to IP rights in Singapore. There are three key changes of note:
(a) Disputes on IP rights will be expressly arbitrable in Singapore;
(b) Most civil IP disputes will be heard in the Singapore High Court at the first instance; and
(c) The patent application and re-examination procedures of the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore(“IPOS”) will be amended to ensure quality of patents granted and increase cost-effectiveness to thirdparties in the revocation of patents.
