National Innovator Hall of Fame

The National Innovator Hall of Fame has been developed to recognise and reward the contribution of local innovators in sprouting development. The importance of rewarding innovation has been recognised internationally through the inception of various innovation awards. It is widely agreed that innovation and intrinsic human motivation for creation go hand in hand.

Patent-related Support Services

The MRIC has set up a collaborative agreement with SKS Law Associates to assist local inventors in accessing the following patent-related support services:

- examining characteristics of the inventions to identify novelty, inventive step, and industrial application;

- conducting a customised pre-filing patent search (including novelty search) to identify prior art;

- providing a Novelty Search Report;

- providing a professional/legal opinion on the patentability of inventions; and

- the preparation and drafting of patent applications.

Collaboration between the MRIC and SKS Law Associates will add to existing measures taken by the Council to promote awareness and the use of IP.
