The IPOS examines the application to determine whether the mark is registrable in accordance with Singapore Trademark Laws.

After successful completion of the those steps, the IPOS publishes the application and makes it available to the public. Any interested party is able to oppose the registration of the trademark within 2 months of the publication period. If the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore receives an objection from an opponent, the applicant will be notified and has to respond.

If there is no opposition, the IPOS issues a Certificate of Registration and the trademark would be granted protection.
