Singapore does well in protection of IP rights

[SINGAPORE] The Republic has fared strongly in terms of its protection and enforcement of intellectual property (IP) rights, according to the findings of a new study released yesterday.

Singapore was ranked fourth on a list of 25 countries surveyed by the Global Intellectual Property Center (GIPC), one of the institutions of the Washington-based US Chamber of Commerce.

This is the second such International Intellectual Property index produced by the GIPC. Singapore was not included in the inaugural report last year.
