WHY US?
When deciding on an IP or trademark firm to work with, it is quite natural to ask:
​
-
Is this firm any good? Are they reliable?
-
How's the quality?
-
Are they prompt?
-
Are they reasonably priced?
-
How long have they been around?
Well, to get your answers, the best option is to go to the firm's website to find out more. ​Most of the time, you will find very informative and detailed information about the firm, telling you exactly what you want to hear, i.e. that the firm has been around for many years, provides prompt, quality, reliable and cost-effective services.
This may be true of most firms, of course, but then how do you decide on which firm to work with when most of them have the same qualities and attributes? One way is to ask for a referral from a friend or colleague. Another, more effective way is simply to try out the firm and let the work speak for itself. This is what we, at Seiter IP Consultants LLP, advocate. Like most other trademark and IP firms, we too offer high quality, prompt, reliable and cost-effective trademark, design, copyright, domain name and other business-related IP services in Singapore and other Southeast Asian countries. But, we have three important differences.

Our clients come to us because they are frustrated in dealing with multiple agents in Southeast Asia and prefer working with one firm, one contact, without the hassle of dealing with various agents, inconsistent reporting styles, language barriers and below-par legal advice.
Although we do charge about 10% to 20% more in professional fees, there is certainly no double charge because our size allows for more flexibility with costs. ​As we have structured our business differently, we hope that you will give us the opportunity to show you how we work.
What's in a name? Everything.®
Patents
What is a patent?
A patent protects your invention and is a monopoly right granted to the owner of the patent to make, use and sell his invention to the exclusion of others for 20 years. A product or a process that gives a new technical solution to a problem could be regarded as a patentable invention.
Why should I register my patent?
Patents are very commercially valuable to a business and a registered patent can generate revenue for a business in many ways, for example raising money from investors for the business, through licensing deals with third parties or outright sale of the patent for a decent price. Like trademarks, patent rights are territorial in nature, so to get ahead of competitors and attract customers through your innovation, it is important to take immediate steps to get your patent registered.
