Intellectual Property Office of Singapore

Our 25th Anniversary

IPOS’ 25-year journey, highlighting its growth, key milestones, and continued efforts in shaping Singapore’s intellectual property landscape and the road ahead.

Last updated 2 April 2026
Banner of 'Celebrating 25 years'

At 25 years young, IPOS is a vibrant, innovative force shaping Singapore’s IP landscape.

Over the years, we have worked to build more than just a reliable registry for Trademarks, Patents, Designs and more. We have developed examination capabilities that global stakeholders value, established an IP academy that benefits thousands of Singaporeans each year, created tools and services that support innovation in Singapore and help Singaporean enterprises grow, and fostered an IP ecosystem that nurtures innovation.

Here’s what excites us most: At 25, we are young, energetic and more innovative than ever. We're just getting started.

This year isn't just about celebrating our journey – it's about embracing the next chapter of growth.

IPOS will launch the second tranche of our Singapore IP Strategy 2030 and here’s what lies ahead:

  • Deepening our support to help enterprises unlock the true potential of their IP and intangible assets, turning innovation into tangible business growth.

  • Enhancing our world-class IP regime to ensure businesses continue to trust and invest in Singapore.

  • Building the next generation of IP management expertise that will drive our nation's competitive edge.

The celebrations will continue through the year, especially during our 15th edition of IP Week in August 2026.

In May, IPOS will also relaunch our IP Awards, which will expand regionally to spotlight enterprises using IP strategies for cross-border growth and celebrate ecosystem partners. More details will be shared soon.

As we mark this milestone, we would like to acknowledge the incredible community we have – our partners, fellow IP offices worldwide, the vibrant IP ecosystem, and every single person in the IPOS family who makes this mission possible.

Thank you for being part of this extraordinary journey. The best is yet to come.

IPOS' 25th anniversary logo

Our story behind the logo

The IPOS 25th anniversary logo celebrates our journey from an IP registry to an enabler of innovation. 

The contemporary design integrates the familiar "IPOS" wordmark with bold "25" numerals.

The use of the “IPOS” wordmark signals continuity, especially of the trust, reliability and resilience that IPOS has established.

Circular elements within the letters symbolise innovation and our diverse stakeholder ecosystem – interconnected and collaborating closely with IPOS.

Dynamic colours that move beyond traditional corporate tones symbolises the organisation's youthful energy and dynamism. Warm orange used on the “25” evokes creativity and optimism. 

This modern and confident design exemplifies 25 years of excellence and our steadfast commitment to transforming ideas into assets for Singapore's future growth.
