Singapore's Intellectual Property Office (IPOS) announced on March 10 that the first Singapore patent was granted protection and recognized in Cambodia on March 4. This patent also marked Cambodia's first-ever granted patent. Less than two months after IPOS and Cambodia's Ministry of Industry and Handicrafts (MIH) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the first Singapore patent was formally recognized in Phnom Penh, through an exchange of the Singapore application form and Cambodia patent certificate between MIH and IPOS.
