Intellectual Property Center


blank

 

The structure of intellectual property centres is a kind of intangible asset holding structure.

This model means that an individual or institution, in the form of a sole proprietorship or joint venture, establishes an offshore company in a third country (e.g. BVI, Cayman Islands, Samoa, etc.), then sets up a wholly-owned or joint venture company in Singapore, and uses that company to hold intellectual property.

For example, trademark rights, patents, copyrights, etc.
