			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS) is the government agency that administers Intellectual Property (IP) laws in Singapore. Most transactions may be effected on-line vide IPOS official website, which provides a secured one-stop portal for, inter alias, filing applications, recordals and conducting trade mark search. An application in Singapore in a straight-forward case normally takes around 6 &#8211; 8 months from filing to registration. If the application encounters Registry&#8217;s objections or faces opposition proceedings from third party, the time frame may be prolonged. Within 2 &#8211; 4 weeks from the date of filing, IPOS will allocate a Trade Mark Number, and will thereafter issue the First Office Action if any objection or query has been raised by the Registrar.</p>
<p>During the substantive examination stage, the Registrar will peruse the application to check if it is in accordance with the requirements set-out in the Act. Office Actions are usually technical and may require professional advice in overcoming the objections raised. As soon as the Registrar is satisfied that the application is in good order and all objections have been waived or resolved, the said application will proceed to the publication stage. IPOS publishes accepted trade marks in the Singapore Trade Marks Journal which is available to the public via its online portal. Any person who intends to oppose the accepted mark may file an opposition (Notice of Opposition) within 2 months from the date of publication. This deadline is extendable up to a maximum of 4 months from the date of publication.</p>
<p>The whole opposition proceedings is a rather lengthy and costly process, requiring both parties, the opponent and the applicant, to file their respective Notice of Opposition, Counter-Statement, Statutory Declarations and written submissions within the given deadlines. During the course of the proceedings, the parties may enter into a settlement negotiations before the Hearing stage with a view to settle the matter amicably. If no opposition is filed by the prescribed deadline, the IPOS will issue the Certificate of Registration. In Singapore, registration of a trade mark is valid for 10 years, and protection can lasts indefinitely with proper use of the registered mark and with payment of renewal fees every 10 years.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently the Singapore dollar has been reevaluated upward. This is of particular note to those interested in global multicurrency investments at a time when both the US dollar and Euro are being devalued. The Singapore dollar recently traded at near record highs as improving confidence in the Asian economies continued to raise the value of all Asian currencies. In addition, bank loan statistics continued to show a faster than expected expansion of the Singaporean economy. The significance of rise of their dollar at the same time the US dollar is reaching new lows cannot be ignored by those looking for a safe haven jurisdiction in which to invest.</p>
<p>Singapore established the Board of Commissioners of Currency, on April 7, 1967 and issued its first coins and notes. The Singapore dollar remained exchangeable at par with the Malaysian ringgit until 1973 when it was pegged to the British sterling pound. After the demise of the sterling pound until 1985 the Singapore dollar was pegged against a fixed a trade-weighted basket of currencies. Beginning in 1985, Singapore adopted a market-oriented exchange policy monitored by the newly created Monetary Authority of Singapore or MAS. The MAS continue to set monetary policy for the Singapore dollar today. The MAS allows the dollar to float against a basket of currencies representing Singapore&#8217;s trading partners and competitors. Singapore dollars are fully backed by government assets to ensure public confidence in the dollar. The MAS policies allow the Singapore government to maintain control over inflation while at the same time ensuring Singapore&#8217;s exports remain competitive.</p>
<p>Singapore is Asia&#8217;s major financial hub. The upward valuation of the Singapore dollar and continued strength of the economy makes this location an attractive jurisdiction for deposits from European and North American investors. A further advantage for wealthy foreigners considering investments in Singapore is the country&#8217;s business and investor friendly banking and tax laws. In the past, many North American and European investors found banking in Singapore difficult due to the physical distance from their home country, and the requirement imposed by most banks there that opening and managing an account had to be done face-to-face in the country. As more multinational banks open branch offices in Singapore the requirement that investors physically be in Singapore is changing. Today, the multinational banks are able to provide investors with accounts in Singapore and financial advisors and account managers not very far from the accountholder&#8217;s home. These multinational banks also offer investors a diversified investment strategy including contingency plans to shift investor&#8217;s accounts to a different jurisdiction, within the same bank, on short notice, if a particular jurisdiction becomes financially unstable for any reason. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finding Singapore jobs are easy today given the level of recruitment from foreign companies. They all want to have an interest in the thriving market in Singapore, so they send employees to the area. If their employees are not willing to relocate, then they recruit other people interested. Many wonder why a person would relocate to Singapore. Yes, there are circumstances that prevent them from doing otherwise. However, in some instances, the benefits far outweigh the costs. Often times, these employees are rewarded thoroughly. Many companies provide relocation bonuses. Usually they help find housing and sometimes supplement their income to provide means to pay for the housing. Although they have to adjust to a new culture, they often learn a lot both in the company and about the culture of Singapore.</p>
<p>In addition, Singapore is a wonderful area to live in. The climate is pleasant through the year. The seasons do not change very much. The only downside is that it rains nearly every day in Singapore. It is the worst November through January. However, despite the rain, Singapore is a cool area with a slight breeze that is enjoyable for many. Upon arriving in Singapore, you might find it difficult to adjust. However, although it is a different place, the area is very westernized. While this will bring comfort to many people that are used to living and working in the city,Singapore is still at heart an Asian land. It’s culture and way of doing business relates to Asian practices and this might be an adjustment at first. Lastly, relocating to Singapore will not break the bank. The prices are relatively similar if not lower in Singapore compared to other areas. And, many people that move to Singapore are able to adjust and get by comfortably on their income. You will be able too. Just make sure that your salary translates well with the one you currently have and analyze your budget before you move. Then, you will be good to go. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A high ranking on the ease of doing business index means that the regulatory environment is conducive to the operation of a business. Also, the Singapore economy is based on free enterprise, with no restrictions on foreign ownership of business. Employing workers measures the flexibility of labour laws among various countries over the world. It examines the difficulty of hiring a new worker, rigidity in terms of working hours and problems faced while dismissing a worker. Trading across borders criteria includes documentation, time and cost to export and import. Singapore is also ranked first for having the most open economy for international trade and investment by the World Economic Forum.</p>
<p>Singapore is business friendly and an ideal country for company formation because of the ease with which taxes can be filed and paid, and also its low corporate tax rates relative to many developed economies in the world. From Year of Assessment 2010 onwards, the corporate tax rate of Singapore is to be 17%, just 0.5% higher than that of Hong Kong – Singapore’s closest competitor in the Asia region. However, the effective tax rate is significantly lower than most of the countries, if not all the countries, in the region. With a further reduction in the 1% from 18% to 17% in corporate tax rate, it will enhance Singapore’s appeal to attract investment dollars.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nowadays, we can still see the remnants of this here and about, as some of the city is still within the preserved regions of Singapore. Colonial design for interior design is very classic and very Victorian, as most of the brickwork and even materials used were transported, in some sense, from the British that came here not long ago. One thing that needs to be realised is that while this is the cornerstone and distinct identity of post colonial Singapore, what needs to be realised is that much has changed over the years. With the global village concept coming to a head and Singapore capitalising on its connectivity to the rest of the world, plenty of influences have come in to change the landscape of interior design. For one thing, as Singapore lunges into modernity and contemporary thinking, what we can see is that since the 80&#8242;s, many of the interior design and architecture were demandingly modern, in the sense of the spaces, the shapes and the sizes of many of the new houses and apartments that came up.</p>
<p>The concept of the condominium was perhaps one of the more interesting bulkheads of how interior design became modern. And how this has applied is that it has created these boxes where interior designs saw a vacuum and lunged in to fill it. As we can see, many of the interior design ideas that has pervaded this century, and I suspect, for many more years to come, will be the modern home. The modern home is a loose concept that can be stretched quite horizontally across the regions of design ideas. Modern means crisp and clean design, with a much more concentrated effort on spaces and clean living areas. In fact, there is a leaning towards a more minimalist ideal when thinking about the more contemporary homes here in Singapore.</p>
<p>For one thing, we cannot also just say that this is the trend. Looking at some of the more startling homes in Singapore reveals that Singapore Interior Design is very much a leech in the sense that it absorbs all sorts of influences, and we being a metropolis, fuses them together for some creative collections. European influences come together with Asian touches, and so on and so forth, and this is the trend that we can be expecting for many years to come. If you do need more information on the whole region of Singapore Interior Design, then the few design magazines in Singapore would be a great start.</p>
