First Contact
Your consultation starts from the moment you reach out to us: live chat, email, a phone call or text messaging, whichever you are most comfortable with.
Consultation
You tell us about your mark and what you sell or provide. We determine the classes, draft the specification of goods and services, check for obvious barriers and run a free basic search. No obligation.
Appointment
If the basic search and our first view on registrability are favourable and you wish to proceed, we issue our invoice for settlement.
Assessment
On payment, we finalise the drafting and harmonisation of your goods and services and prepare the full search and registrability report with our written opinion, for your review and filing instructions.
Submission
With your filing instructions, we file your trade mark with the IP office. In Singapore, we file with IPOS within the same business day.
Approval
IPOS examination currently takes up to 9 months for straightforward Singapore registrations. Foreign registrations may take 12–36 months depending on the country.

Questions about pricing
How much does it cost to register a trademark in Singapore?
With JK Marcam, S$600 per class, all-inclusive. That covers the IPOS official fee, our professional fee, drafting and harmonisation of your goods and services, the full clearance search and registrability report with our written opinion, filing with IPOS, monitoring until completion and agent-on-record services. A mark filed in two classes costs S$1,200.
What is free before I engage you?
The consultation, online, by phone or video call, and a basic clearance search. You know whether the mark looks registrable and which classes you need before you pay anything.
When do I pay?
If the basic search and our first view on registrability are favourable and you wish to proceed, we issue our invoice. Once it is paid, we prepare the full search and registrability report for your review and file with IPOS within the same business day of your filing instructions.
What is not included in the S$600?
Work that depends on what IPOS or a third party does: a substantive objection to the mark, or an opposition, is quoted before work starts. For non-substantive office actions on marks we filed, our work is free, but any official IPOS fee, for example for a form needed to overcome the action, is payable. Accelerated examination carries an additional official fee.
How long does Singapore registration take?
We file within the same business day of your filing instructions. IPOS currently takes up to 9 months for a straightforward application.
