The Singapore Patent Office continues to file an application on behalf of Denis Tiaglin for a national patent on Wind Power Plant (WPP) technology
The development of business and the protection of rights to inventions in the rapidly developing countries of Southeast Asia is essential. The Parliamentary Republic of Singapore is very attractive in these areas. Link to the document
At the beginning of the 21st century, the government of Singapore decided to make fundamental improvements in the area of copyright and to give the country the status of a global intellectual property center. Singapore is one of the best offshore jurisdictions for filing patents and exploiting intellectual property. Today, Singapore leads Asia in the quality of intellectual property protection and has been ranked fourth by the World Economic Forum due to the stability of its IP laws and the absence of legal and political risks. Singapore's legal system has an international reputation for being neutral, efficient and transparent.
Based on the international application in the PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) system PCT/RU2018/000686, filed on October 16, 2018, in the International Bureau (IB) of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) began the national phase of patenting the invention "Wind Power Station" in the Republic of Singapore, which is similar to the invention "Wind Power Plant" registered in the Russian Federation for the right holder D. Tiaglin. Following a patent search, the international application was published by the International Bureau (IB) of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) on May 2, 2019, on PATENTSCOPE (https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/ru/detail.jsf?docId=WO2019083411&_cid=P22-LDUPP2-10837-1) under number WO2019083411 as a brochure containing a standard title page, description, claims, drawings, and international search report.
To start the national patenting phase of the invention in Singapore, an application for "Wind Power Station" has been filed on April 16, 2020 through the patent attorney in favor of D. Tiaglin, the owner of exclusive rights to the invention, which is registered with the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS) under number 11202003436R. The total period of consideration of the application may take 3-4.5 years.
Singapore protects inventive designs and technologies under the Patents Act, which is based on the UK Patent Act 1977. Singaporean patents are internationally protected under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). According to the IPOS, "A patent is a right granted to the owner of an invention that prevents others from making, using, importing or selling the invention without his permission". A patent in Singapore is valid for 20 years as long as the owner pays an annual renewal fee. Once registered, the owner can use, sell or license the patent. Licensing a patent, or any type of intellectual property, can be lucrative.
The criteria used by Singapore to grant a patent are as follows:
1. Novelty: The technology must not be publicly known anywhere in the world.
2. Inventiveness: Even if it is something new, it must be an improvement that would not be obvious to those having technical skill or knowledge in the field.
3. Industrial application: Must have a practical application.
In accordance with the legal provisions of the patent procedure, the said application for the WIND POWER STATION invention has been formally examined and published in the Official Gazette. In the course of the substantive examination, the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS) received a request for additional information on the technical solution, clarification of its description and claims through the patent attorney on August 30, 2021. The response to the request was sent by the patent attorney on January 26, 2022. On October 21, 2022, the patent attorney submits a request for substantive examination to the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS). The second request of the IPOS (Intellectual Property Office of Singapore) experts for correction of the contents of the abstract and claims was made on November 25, 2022, which is expected to be answered by May 2023. The results of the review of the response and a decision on the application should be expected within 6-10 months from the date of filing of the said response to the request.
After the substantive examination and obtaining a positive result, it is possible to obtain a national patent for the Singapore invention upon payment of the government fee for the grant and maintenance of the patent. Given the demand and functional promise of the claimed invention, there is a high probability of obtaining a national protection document in Singapore that is promising and relevant.
Registering and acquiring intellectual property (IP) is an increasingly important part of doing business in Singapore and in the global economy. Singapore provides a comprehensive legal framework and supporting infrastructure to protect patents, copyrights, trademarks and other types of intellectual property. In addition to encouraging the development and registration of IP in Singapore, the government also actively protects IP. Intellectual property rights are territorial. This means that if the intellectual property is registered in Singapore, those rights will be protected there. The Singapore government believes that the ability to resolve disputes fairly and efficiently will encourage the development and registration of intellectual property, which in turn will stimulate the economy.
Singapore provides for the regulatory influence of the state in several dimensions: scientific, financial, legal and informational. Considerable attention is paid to mechanisms for stimulating the activity of the intellectual property market through the implementation of government programs in the field of shared financing of patent expenses, consistent information and advisory support to owners of intellectual products at the stages of creation and commercialization of intellectual property. The development of the innovation ecosystem and the well-established intellectual property protection control system allow Singapore to create a favorable climate for high-tech business activities.
