A memorandum of understanding (MoU) will be signed between the two parties at the IP Week @ SG 2018 conference.

Lloyd’s Asia will work with IPOS to introduce IP insurance products to the market and cater to the needs of enterprises in “attracting capital, averting business interruption and strengthening negotiating positions when they use IP in the course of their business”.

IPOS and Lloyd’s Asia have agreed to organise seminars reaching out to 100 companies over two years to promote Singapore as a centre of excellence for IP commercialisation, rights protection and the availability of underwriting expertise.

IP Academy Singapore, IPOS will also sign an MoU with NUS School of Continuing and Lifelong Education to develop a joint professional certification for IP and innovation skills.
