Proper and Continuous Use of Your Trade Mark
As a trade mark owner, it is important for you to use your mark properly and continuously.
You should reinforce the identity of your trade mark by actively applying it with its associated type of
goods and/or services and on mediums such as packaging, websites, marketing materials and trade documents.
You should also be aware that a registered trade mark may face the risk of being revoked if it has not been put to genuine continuous use in Singapore within an uninterrupted period of 5 years after it is registered.
Trade Mark Infringement
If you become aware that another party is using a mark which is identical or similar to your trade mark, and in relation to identical or similar goods and/or services with respect to your trade mark, you should act promptly against the infringing party.
