In a study recently published through WTR, the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS) was first classified as the most advanced intellectual property office in the world. ip Office Innovation Ranking highlight how teams and overcoming barriers, especially in the virtual area, can help users even in the toughest times.
The effects are a component of WTR’s fourth annual IP Office Innovation Ranking, our ambitious task of identifying IP offices around the world that are committed to exploring non-essential value-added offerings for users. offices that do more than just manage an INTELLECTUAL asset registry, and also identify records that would possibly fall behind.
This year’s ranking, which analyzed 50 IP offices around the world, is at the top of the Singapore registry for the first time. In the last 3 editions of our studies (2017, 2018 and 2019), the EU Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) received the list to the maximum, but is now strongly IPOS, in the current place. in a variety of key domains, adding its subtle online platform and continuous drive to help corporations market their brands and brands. In fact, this comes only a few weeks after IPOS Director General Daren Tang was appointed director of the World Property Office), his good luck being at least in component because of his promise – made at WTR – to reshape IP offices “to manage records to innovation agencies”.
IP Innovation Ranking 2020: Full rating (top 25 out of 50)
The IP Office 2020 innovation rating focused on 50 of the world’s leading logo offices. To fully analyze the pioneers of this group, we tested 3 spaces in particular: value-added proposals, online functions and public awareness efforts. Added a new metric that had not yet been tested in detail: the use of AI capability in IP logs (examples, such as online page chatbots or AI-based symbol search). In total, we contact more than one hundred legal advisors from all over the country. invited them to offer their views on non-essential supplies through their local registries, with rooted effects on the team and that local logo experts are aware of.
IPOS has proven to be at the forefront due to a number of new projects announced over the past 12 months. For example, in April 2019, IPOS introduced the mediation promotion program in which parties can obtain an investment of up to S$10,000 or more. S$12,000 if the economic rights of foreign intellectuals are added to the mediation target, regardless of the final results of mediation. The first positive result took place in November 2019 and rated through mediator Joyce Tan as “revolutionary”. IPOS has also recently announced a telephone application and marketing medium called IPOS International.
Elsewhere, EUIPO continues to lead the way in its educational and Internet services, and its collaborative efforts to help other intellectual property registries have been praised through respondents. The Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) climbed to third place in the ranking, aided by a strong focus on education and social media systems in 2019. Brazilian, Chilean and Thai records were praised for their paintings with SMEs, while IP Australia stood out this year. for “significant investments and improvements” in its virtual equipment (it is on the most sensitive in the list of virtual offers with IP New Zealand).
However, there were considerations among users, namely with respect to virtual computers and services. For example, the online page of the Ukrainian Intellectual Property Office has been described as “technically obsolete and unfriendly for cellular use”, the Malaysian registration online page as “mediocre and hostile”, and the Italian registry online page has been described through a local user as “one of the worst internet sites of any intellectual asset workplace in the world”. , adding up disorders in Mexico, Peru and Portugal.
Overall, however, our studies have revealed the progress made through the maximum number of IP offices in terms of cutting edge and added value they are offering. While there are still some vital issues to be resolved (especially with IP offices that do not yet offer trademark filings online or that have widespread online page downtime), the outlook is positive, and those cutting-edge efforts (especially in records that offer a 100 percent virtual brand) are increasingly vital in the coming weeks and months.
