    Special Quote

    IPOS International’s invaluable advice helped us identify what existing IP we had, what were the IP gaps that we needed to fix as well as the strategy moving forward. By understanding the assets we have, we knew what was valuable to our company and where our growth engine was. We had managed to address the gaps in our IP almost immediately and we are really thankful for that.

    Benjamin Chua, Founder
    Spic & Span

    I would like to convey our appreciation for the exceptional work done by the IPOS International (formerly IP ValueLab) team in assisting us with our IP strategy. They have significantly helped strengthen our IP management framework for one of our key products. As we position it for export opportunities, the framework will certainly provide the strategic advantage needed to compete and excel in the global market.

    Dr Lee Shiang Long, President
    ST Engineering Land Systems (formerly ST Kinetics)

    The Specialist Certificate course by IP Academy was a great combination of learning core IP knowledge and applying that knowledge in the context of business. The structured approach and frameworks provided a holistic view of IP in business that I feel would normally only be picked up over many years of practice and mentorship. I have no doubt that the soft skills and best practices from these modules will come in handy in my day-to-day IP work.
