Cautionary Notice on Unsolicited Mail about Unofficial Registration Services (Circular<br />

No. 13/2007, dated 11 April 2007)<br />

It has been brought to our attention that trade mark proprietors and/or agents whose trade<br />

marks have been published in recent IPOS Trade Marks eJournals are receiving letters<br />

from companies for payments for unofficial registration services.<br />

These companies use names, abbreviations or emblems that appear to be “official” and<br />

send out letters which resemble invoices to trade mark proprietors and/or agents with<br />

details of the proprietor, the trade mark, class(es) of goods or services, etc. These<br />

companies will offer to register marks in registers or publications for a fee, and in return,<br />

claim they will send the respondent a copy of the publication.<br />

Please treat such letters as unsolicited mails. These companies are neither related to nor<br />

connected with IPOS. There is no obligation to pay for such services as they are not official<br />

services.<br />

The only office constituted under Singapore laws that provides registration services for<br />

trade marks in Singapore is our office, the <strong>Intellect</strong>ual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS).<br />

Upon receiving such letter or invoice, if you are in any doubt, please consult your trade<br />

mark agent, your lawyer, or email us for clarification.
