Singapore is acceding to the WIPO Copyright Treaty and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty, both of which come into force in the republic on 17 April 2005. The IPKat understands that the cats of Singapore welcome this move.

Since June 2003 the IPKat weblog has covered copyright, patent, trade mark, information technology and privacy/confidentiality issues from a mainly UK and European perspective. The IPKat team is Birgit Clark, David Pearce, Jeremy Phillips, Ilanah Simon Fhima, Tufty the Cat and Annsley Merelle Ward. You're welcome to read, post comments and participate in our little community. You can email the Kats here
