As a partner in our Intellectual Property Group in Singapore and part of the Media, Entertainment & Sports team, I focus on contentious IP matters including IP infringement litigation, patent revocation actions and trade mark oppositions, but also advise clients extensively on non-contentious matters including IP commercialisation, patent and trade mark freedom-to-operate issues and brand protection.

A new Copyright Bill that has been five years in the making was tabled for its First Reading in Parliament on 6 July 2021 and is expected to be enacted into law in November this year. The Bill represents a major overhaul of the current Copyright Act and will introduce a number of new rights and exceptions. Some of the changes will have a greater impact on businesses than others.
