Singapore Trademark Registration
Brand Protection
Zhongxin Lawyers collaborates with local teams to provide Chinese-language consulting, research, and application support.
Once documentation is complete and the plan and fees are confirmed, our team can submit your application as soon as 24 hours after all conditions for execution are met.
Refers to the submission time, not the registration approval time. Special circumstances or system unavailability will be communicated separately.
When should you file a trademark?
Sell or offer services in Singapore
Verify registrability and potential conflicts before using the brand in local markets.
Establish a company or regional headquarters
Company name registration does not equal trademark protection; brands require separate strategic planning.
Brand Authorization & Franchise
Licensing and franchising rely on clear ownership rights and a solid registration foundation.
Future multi-country deployment
Reserve categories and market arrangements for regional or global expansion.
Ownership Arrangement Between Individual and Company
Ensure trademarks are held by individuals or companies to avoid ownership disputes.
Boundary considerations
Registering a company name or domain does not equate to trademark protection. Registration in Singapore does not automatically grant protection in China, ASEAN, or globally.
Select the application category entry based on your needs
This is the entry point for requirements. Overlaps may occur and do not indicate additional charges.
Create dedicated pages only when content is substantial; otherwise, use on-page tabs or anchors to avoid thin, empty pages.

We do not fabricate official stamped documents, nor do we refer to acceptance receipts as registration certificates. Initial collection includes the trademark name or image, entity type, primary business activities, and target countries.
Review the risks of identical and similar items first.
Explain the search methods and limitations for identical and similar trademarks.
Fees are calculated by scope and project.
Service fees, official fees, GST, translation costs, and opposition expenses are itemized separately. Pricing is based on the number of trademarks, classes, countries, and project scope. Unconfirmed prices display as custom quotes; current public pricing is not inferred from historical single quotes.
Common Trademark Questions
Yes. Both individuals and companies may apply as applicants. Relevant entity documents are required based on applicable regulations; specific materials will be collected during the formal application process.
Words, Chinese characters, English text, and logos may be applied for separately or in combination. Each approach has trade-offs; recommendations will be provided during evaluation based on usage patterns.
Each jurisdiction is evaluated separately; the outcome in China does not determine the result in Singapore. Local prior rights, distinctiveness, and scope of protection must still be verified.
Not necessarily. Individuals can also apply. Whether a company is established depends on shareholding and operational arrangements, which will be explained during the evaluation.
Submission can be completed promptly once documentation is complete, the proposal and fees are confirmed, and the team is able to execute. This refers to submission timing, not approval time.
Initial Trademark Assessment Request
After submission, mark trademark services and source subpages. Providing rejection documents or ID is not mandatory.
