Trademark Specialist

About the Company

We are a Singapore-headquartered AI company building a platform that modernizes

trademark and intellectual property work across APAC. Our customers include sophisticated,

multi-stakeholder audiences in the IP space, served both directly and through trusted

partners.

We are at the intersection of deep legal practice and frontier AI, and we are growing the team

that will define how trademark work gets done in Singapore, ASEAN, and beyond.

The Role

We are looking for a Trademark Specialist to be the in-house trademark authority embedded

across our product, engineering, and commercial functions. You will be the connective tissue

between real-world trademark practice and the agentic AI we are building.

This is a dynamic role. You will spend meaningful time inside the product / tech

development cycle, and you will also be client- and partner-facing alongside our commercial

team — meeting trademark agencies and IP law firms in Singapore to demonstrate, educate,

and gather feedback on our AI product.

Key Responsibilities

1. Product & Tech Development Collaboration

• Embed trademark expertise into the product. Work side-by-side with

engineers, AI/ML, and product managers to translate Singapore and international

trademark law, IPOS practice, and day-to-day prosecution workflows into clear

product requirements and technical specifications.

• Validate AI outputs. Review and quality-test AI outputs across trademark

search, clearance opinions, Nice classification, goods/services drafting, office action

responses, and portfolio analytics. Flag inaccuracies, hallucinations, and edge cases.

• Curate training and evaluation data. Help build, label, and maintain

trademark-specific datasets, prompt libraries, and evaluation benchmarks the AI is

tested against. Define what 'good' looks like from a practitioner's perspective.

2. Commercial & External Engagement

• Represent the company externally. Partner with the commercial team to meet,

pitch, and educate trademark agencies, IP law firms, and corporate IP teams in

Singapore on what our agentic AI product does, where it fits in their workflow, and

how to adopt it.

• Run product demos and pilots. Lead practitioner-grade demos, design and run

pilot engagements with firms and agencies, and translate their feedback into product

action.

• Build the Singapore IP network. Maintain and grow relationships across the

Singapore IP ecosystem — IPOS, ASEAN IPA, professional associations, and

individual agents and partners.

3. Subject Matter Expertise & Compliance

• Be the in-house trademark authority. Serve as the go-to internal expert on

Singapore Trademarks Act and Rules, IPOS practice directions, Nice Classification,

and Madrid Protocol filings.

• Track regulation and practice updates. Monitor developments in IPOS

practice, ASEAN regional IP frameworks, WIPO updates, and emerging case law, and

translate them into product and content updates.

• Manage professional and ethical risk. Help the company navigate questions

around the unauthorized practice of law, professional responsibility, AI disclosure

obligations, and data confidentiality in trademark work.

4. Thought Leadership, Content & Ecosystem

• Create credible content. Co-author whitepapers, blog posts, technical guides, and

webinars on AI in trademark practice — calibrated for IPOS-registered agents and IP

partners.

• Speak at industry events. Represent the company at INTA, IPOS-organized

events, ASEAN IP forums, and legal-tech conferences.

• Engage with regulators. Where appropriate, support engagement with IPOS and

other regulators on the responsible use of AI in trademark and IP practice.

. Cross-functional & Internal Operations

• Documentation. Author and maintain user-facing documentation, FAQs, and in-

product help content for trademark features.

• Quality benchmarking. Define and track accuracy, precision, and recall

benchmarks for trademark-specific AI outputs in collaboration with the AI team.

• Internal trademark portfolio. Manage the company's own trademarks and brand

IP across Singapore and key markets.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Registered Trademark Agent with IPOS, or qualified and on track for registration.

• 3–6 years of hands-on trademark prosecution experience in Singapore (in-house, IP

law firm, or trademark agency).

• Strong working knowledge of the Singapore Trademarks Act and Rules, IPOS e-filing,

Nice Classification, and trademark search and clearance procedures.

• Experience with Madrid Protocol filings and prosecution; exposure to multi-

jurisdictional trademark portfolios.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to translate

complex IP concepts for non-legal audiences (engineers, product, customers).

• Comfort operating in a fast-moving, ambiguous startup environment with shifting

priorities.

• Genuinely client-facing: confident running meetings, demos, and training sessions

with senior trademark agents and IP partners.

Great to have!

• Prior experience working with or building legal-tech, AI, or SaaS products.

• Existing network across the Singapore and ASEAN IP community.

• Exposure to AI tooling (LLMs, agentic workflows) and a strong point of view on

where it helps versus where it should not be trusted.

• Experience contributing to product specs, user research, or product testing.

• Bilingual capability (English & Mandarin) for regional expansion work and collaboration with key stakeholders.
