Overview

To make Singapore a compelling IP hub with an IP savvy generation, we have developed several programmes with our different target groups in mind including the general public, schools, businesses, government and IP professionals. Here's a quick look at the programmes that we have designed to date:


Public Awareness - HIP 


The HIP (Honour IP) Alliance is our key public outreach programme. It is made up of government agencies, private organisations and industry associations which have a common interest in pursuing the need for education on IP and to raise IP awareness among general public. The Alliance encourages people to respect and reward original creative works by Saying NO! to Piracy.

Members of the public who want to pledge their respect for IP can sign up as HIP Friends via our HIPFriends website, where they can learn all about our HIP activities, get cued in on the latest reviews of major music records, movies and games, read up on IP-related topics and get rewarded for respecting IP.


Training & Education - IPERC


IP Education and Resource Centre, or IPERC, is IPOS' education and training unit. It provides information resources and education programmes that will equip individuals and organisations with the tools and knowledge to apply IP effectively.

One key programme provided under IPERC is the monthly IP Consult sessions where your IP-related questions are answered by IP professionals via a group dialogue and one-on-one individual sessions. Check out our Event Calendar regularly for updates on IP Consult.

IPERC also offers a resource library in the IPOS office where public can access and read up on IP-related resources. You can also search for resources via the online resource catalogue before heading down to the library.

Under IPERC, we have also developed publications such as Infopacks on patents, trade marks, registered designs, plant varieties protection and copyright.

We also have an IP education and outreach programme specially designed for students and teachers known as iperckidz. Visit the iperckidz website for e-learning modules, comics and IP learning kits. The iperckidz programme also includes roadshows and assembly talks to schools where students learn more about IP. Be curious, investigate IP today!


IP Management - IPM 


IP Management is a programme designed for the business community. The aim is to help companies recognise their intellectual assets and know how they can protect these assets to maximise their value to the companies.

Under this programme, we have also devised a number of tools to help businesses manage their IP. These include Strategies for Creation, Ownership, Protection and Exploitation of IP, or SCOPE IP™Singapore Network of IP Service Providers (SNIPS) and SurfIP.

The IP Management (IPM) for SMEs Programme is for all local small and medium enterprises that want to improve their competitiveness by capitalising on IP Management as a strategic tool.
