Patent
A patent is a right that is granted for an invention. It can take the form of a new product, process or technical improvement to existing technology.
When you register a patent for your invention, you hold the exclusive right to use the patent. This means that no other person can take advantage of that patent, unless your permission is sought.
Trade Mark
A trade mark is a sign that you can use to distinguish your business’ goods or services from those of other traders. It can be represented graphically in the form of your company’s name or logo.
A trade mark can add value to your business. Using a trade mark can help customers easily identify and remember your products and services, allowing you to build customer loyalty and protect your market share.
Once you register your trade mark, you will enjoy a monopoly over its use. You may :
** License it to third parties
** Sell it for a sum

4. How do I apply for the registration of a trade mark?
You may file the application Form TM4 together with the prescribed fee. Applicants are required to provide an address for service in Singapore on the form.
With effect from 2 July 2007, you have the option to file (I) multi-class applications or (II) separate applications in different classes for the same mark. For (I), it will bring administrative convenience to you since there is only one trade mark number issued.
With consolidated examination reports issued by IPOS, there is only one deadline for you to take note. The trade mark is also maintained as one upon registration.
However, if an objection is raised in the examination process, the entire application will be held back. Likewise, if the applicant does not respond within the stipulated deadline, the entire application will also be treated as withdrawn.
