Must I apply for a design in Singapore before seeking protection overseas?
It is not mandatory to apply for a design in Singapore before seeking protection overseas. However, if your design is registered in Singapore, you may apply for registration in other countries (Paris Convention countries and World Trade Organization (WTO) Countries) using the Singapore application as a priority claim.
