Made for Singapore
invent.sg is the Singapore franchise of IPGuru.ai: global platform, local landing. Singapore filings in English come first, priced in Singapore dollars, with the local process explained in plain language.
Why here
Singapore consistently ranks among the world's strongest intellectual property systems, with a modern registry and courts that take IP seriously.
A Singapore filing can anchor later international routes when your idea is ready to travel. We start local and keep the wider path open.
Students, SMEs, makers, and second-act professionals: this city invents across every kopitiam table, and deserves tools priced for it.
The local process
Patents in Singapore are granted by the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS). The shape of the journey is simple, even when the paperwork is not.
An application needs a specification: a full description, claims that define the protection, and the drawings that support them. This is exactly what your invent.sg journey produces, organised into a binder you can file yourself through the IPOS Digital Hub open_in_new, or hand to a patent attorney or agent if you would rather have one file for you.
An examiner searches prior art and tests your claims against it, raising objections in written opinions you respond to. Because Yuki ran a mock examination first, the shape of this stage should not surprise you.
Clear examination and the patent is granted and published, then kept alive with periodic renewal fees for up to twenty years from filing. Protection is a maintained asset, not a one-time stamp.
The official IPOS view of the registration process. For fees, forms, and timelines, go straight to the source. ipos.gov.sg open_in_new
Everything before the filing itself: the research, the description, the claims drafting, the diagrams, the mock examination, and the organised binder. Whether you file yourself or take it to a professional, you arrive prepared, which is the cheapest way to arrive.
IPOS does not require a patent attorney or agent: you can file yourself through the IPOS Digital Hub open_in_new. A professional is recommended for prosecution and legal advice, not mandatory. We prepare the package; you decide who files it, and your binder names its own gaps honestly either way.
Who invents here
Continuous R&D on the products you already sell: upgrades, process advantages, and the judgment call between filing and keeping a trade secret.
Turn a final-year project into something ownable, and learn the IP system the way no lecture teaches it.
Decades of field experience is invention fuel. Retraining or between roles, your know-how has destinations.
The workbench idea that actually works deserves better than a drawer. Prove it free, then decide.
invent.sg is an independent service. It is not affiliated with, authorised by, or endorsed by IPOS or the Government of Singapore, and it does not provide legal advice.
A Singapore idea, a Singapore filing, a Singapore price. The first two phases are free.
