世界上接近百分之四十的技术和专利数据只以中文记录。新加坡知识产权局是中国以外唯一以英、中双语办公的知识产权局。因此，新加坡知识产权局能处理世界各地的技术和专利数据，并用此加强新加坡的知识产权枢纽地位。

六家2018年度世界知识产权组织—新加坡知识产权局知识产权奖得奖企业

新加坡，2018年9月4日 — 新加坡知识产权局（IPOS）近日宣布多项与创新利益相关者合作的新项目，以巩固新加坡的知识产权和创新枢纽地位。新加坡知识产权局将与保险业巨擘Lloyd’s Asia和新加坡国立大学持续与终身教育学院（NUS SCALE）合作，以新方式与新技能协助企业增长无形资产，实施知识产权的商业化。泰国最大工业集团Siam Cement Group(SCG)通过SCG Chemicals Co., Ltd.与新加坡知识产权局签署协议，使用新加坡知识产权局促进业务增长的服务配套。新加坡知识产权周是亚洲最具有声望的知识产权会议之一，这三项谅解备忘录将于2018年度新加坡知识产权周活动里签署。

协助新加坡创新型企业信心十足地开拓国际市场

去年设立的马卡拉创新基金（Makara Innovation Fund）让新加坡知识产权局为创新型企业提供资本以扩大规模。然而，知识产权和无形资产驱动的增长呈现了新类型的风险，需要以不同的方式管理。新加坡知识产权局与领跑专业保险和再保险市场的Lloyd’s Asia合作，着手解决创新型企业对知识产权保险的需求。凭借Lloyd’s Asia的全球网络和专业保险知识，本区域的企业可期待新的知识产权保险，来加强它们开拓国际市场的信心。

Lloyd’s Asia和新加坡知识产权局签署谅解备忘录，合作推出知识产权保险，让企业在利用知识产权驱动业务的同时，可招商引资、避免业务中断和加强谈判实力。双方也将在两年内联合举办一系列研讨会，吸引100家企业参与，推广知识产权商业化、知识产权保护和知识产权保险（知识产权保险可涵盖知识产权纠纷中的法律费用，包括侵权和违反知识产权许可使用权）承保专门知识，使新加坡成为这方面的卓越中心。知识产权保险可作为商业战略工具，让企业在将无形资产和知识产权商业化和开拓国际市场的同时，增强管理和减轻风险的能力。

Lloyd’s Asia区域经理Angela Kelly女士说：“目前，无形资产在许多公司的企业价值占比相当可观。企业可用知识产权保险来保护这些高价值资产，减轻侵权的风险，包括支付日后的讼事费用。2016年，有5万余商标和7千余专利于新加坡注册。随着亚洲企业持续发展创新点子和解决方案，本区域的知识产权保险潜力将相应增长。”

新加坡金融管理局 (Monetary Authority of Singapore) 发展与国际助理局长黄耀龙表示：“新加坡知识产权局与Lloyd’s Asia的合作，将加强新加坡领跑亚洲专业保险的地位。知识产权保险的发展，充分反映我们的保险业在不断创新，为亚洲企业提供更好的风险管理解决方案。”

协助国人建立相关知识产权和创新的技能

随着新加坡成为一个以创新驱动的经济体，知识产权和创新技能培训的需求将会增加。直属新加坡知识产权局的培训和教育机构新加坡知识产权学院（IP Academy）将推出无形资产管理专业培训课程，为国人创造高增值就业机会，协助企业学习将创新点子转化为资产。这项为期八个月的在职培训课程将在2019年1月开课，吸引知识产权行业在职人士以及有意掌握无形资产管理技能的业外人士。新课程将强调实际商业应用，着重于如何整合企业业务和知识产权市场化策略，帮助企业把创新点子市场化。

新加坡知识产权学院也将与新加坡国立大学持续与终身教育学院（NUS SCALE）合作，为专业人士策划并提供高管课程培训，由双方经验丰富的教员授课，同时也会联合设立新的知识产权和创新技能专业认证体系。以上项目将加强学员的知识产权知识和技能，培养知识产权专人，巩固新加坡的知识产权枢纽地位。

新加坡国立大学持续与终身教育学院院长魏国基教授说：“创新能力决定企业能否在全球经济中保持竞争力，知识产权的价值和管理因此比以往更重要。我国必须继续提高知识产权管理的意识和专业知识，因为这具重大战略意义。新加坡国立大学持续与终身教育学院、与新加坡知识产权学院合作推出高素质的知识产权培训课程，促进企业和专业人士创新，提升竞争力，为此深感荣幸。”

推动于“源自新加坡，通过新加坡”的创新点子

亚洲的创新活动与日俱增，知识产权注册占有全球总数的六成。中国是这增长的主要推动国，有全球最大的专利申请数量，在2017年高达130万，超越同年美国、欧盟、日本和韩国的专利申请总数。

基于以上趋势，世界上接近百分之四十的技术和专利数据只以中文记录。新加坡知识产权局是中国以外唯一以英、中双语办公的知识产权局。因此，新加坡知识产权局能处理世界各地的技术和专利数据，并用此加强新加坡的知识产权枢纽地位。

东盟首屈一指的跨国公司，也是泰国最大工业和制造业集团SCG将与新加坡知识产权局签署谅解备忘录，籍此使用新加坡知识产权局的全面专利检索服务，以及其他相关知识产权技能建设的服务等。

SCG副执行总裁、SCG创新委员会主席和SCG化学品总裁Cholanat Yanaranop先生说：“新加坡以高效和高质量的专利检索审查闻名，也是全球两个可以用英、中双语进行专利审查的国家之一，能确保全面的专利检索，对于我们为产品拓展国际市场非常重要”。

新加坡知识产权局局长邓鸿森在谈到这三份谅解备忘录对新加坡作为知识产权枢纽的重要意义时表示：“我们旨在建设新加坡的创新生态体系，推动于“源自新加坡，通过新加坡”的创新点子，促进新加坡成为各国知识产权商业化的基地，从而开拓亚洲和其他区域的增长市场。新合作伙伴关系将为本区域带来尖端知识产权产品，建立企业创新所需的技能，把新加坡定位为一个能够理解亚洲和西方技术和专利数据库的知识产权枢纽。我们计划通过知识产权和创新的新视角，衬托新加坡国际都市、以企业为本和具前瞻魄力的传统优势。”

世界知识产权组织—新加坡知识产权局知识产权奖表扬创新型企业

在新加坡知识产权周开幕式上，总理公署部长兼财政部和教育部第二部长英兰妮女士宣布了六家2018年度世界知识产权组织—新加坡知识产权局知识产权奖得奖企业。它们通过知识产权取得创新、变革转型和商业化的骄人增长。新加坡知识产权局也首次颁发青年成就奖，表扬本地青年创业精神。同时，联合国机构世界知识产权组织（WIPO）也颁发了另外两个奖项。得奖名单如下：
