Submission of Patents Forms via the Electronic Online Service (EOS)

For the purposes of Singapore national phase, applicants must use the EOS for the submission of patents forms

(https://ip2sg.ipos.gov.sg/) which include:

(a) Optional form for entering the national phase, Patents Form 37

(b) Request for an examination report, Patents Form 12

(c) Payment of fee for grant, Patents Form 14

(d) Payment of renewal fee, Patents Form 15

How can payment of fees be effected?

The payment of fees has to be effected in Singapore dollars. All payments, except for the fee for entering the

national phase, must be made together with the filing of the form related to the fee to be paid, and should be

accompanied by Fee Payment Forms which are available from the Registry of Patents. All payments should indicate

the payer’s name and address, the application number (national, if already known; international, if the national

number is not yet known), the name and the address of the applicant and the number of the Patents Form related to

the fee being paid.

Payments may be made by one of the following means: cash, NETS, GIRO, internet banking or credit/debit

card, money order, bank draft or check drawn on a local clearing bank. Fees paid by check expressed in Singapore

dollars are regarded as being paid on the day of receipt of the check in the Office. As checks expressed in other

currencies will result in a delay while conversion into Singapore dollars takes place (also, owing to currency

fluctuations, an underpayment could result), it is therefore recommended that Singapore dollar checks only should

be paid. Checks should be made payable to “Intellectual Property Office of Singapore, 51 Bras Basah Road,

# 04-01, Manulife Centre, Singapore 189554.” All checks must be crossed “Account Payee Only” and “Not

Negotiable.”
