The requirements for trademark registration in Singapore include the following aspects:
1.The trademark must be distinctive: the trademark applied for must be distinctive, must not infringe the intellectual property rights of others, and must not use the name, sign or specific symbol of the country or **.

2.The trademark must be related to the goods or services provided by the applicant: The trademark must be related to the goods or services provided by the applicant and cannot be used for unrelated goods or services.

3.Trademarks must not infringe the rights of others: Trademarks must not infringe on the rights of others, such as patents, copyrights, or trademark rights. If the trademark applied for is too similar to the trademark registered or under application, it may be rejected. In addition, if the applied trademark infringes the intellectual property rights of others, it may lead to legal disputes and infringement damages.
4.Trademarks need to be distinguishable: Trademarks need to be distinguishable so that consumers can identify and identify the business or product that the trademark represents.

5.Applicant Qualification Requirements: If the applicant is a business, a copy or copy of the business license of the enterprise needs to be provided, and if the applicant is an individual, a copy or copy of the ID card or passport needs to be provided.
