S'pore tops in Asia-Pac for intellectual property environment
Singapore
SINGAPORE has room to improve when it comes to its relatively elevated rates of software piracy. But the country's intellectual property (IP) environment still scores well overall due to factors such as having an advanced IP framework and a patent enforcement legal framework that is "adequate and generally applied", according to an index ranking by the United States Chamber of Commerce that was released on Wednesday.
The country came in sixth out of 38 economies, behind the US (which was No 1), the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Sweden.
