[ FIG. 02 — METHODOLOGY ]

How Obiter approaches IP administration work

Each offering starts from the same foundational principle: internal IP administration is an operations function, and the tools and processes that support it should be designed for operations people, not specialists.

Where a consulting engagement or template product asks a team to adapt to a new system, Obiter works the other way — starting from the R&D team's existing workflow, terminology and document environment and building the IP administration structure into what is already in place.

The three offerings are structured as distinct stages. The Template Pack is a direct purchase for teams that know what they need and can configure it themselves. The Setup Engagement is for teams that need someone to design and configure the full workflow. The Annual Programme is for teams that have a functioning workflow and want structured support keeping it current across the year.

Substantive filing matters — anything requiring qualified IP practitioner input — are referred out at every stage. Obiter's scope is internal administration, and we are clear about where that scope ends.

IP Documentation Template Pack

[ SOLUTION A ]

IP Documentation Template Pack

SGD 189 — One-time purchase

A curated library of internal IP administration documents covering the full intake-to-register cycle. Includes invention-disclosure intake forms, internal inventor questionnaires, internal-review checklists, trade-secret register templates, asset-mapping spreadsheets and an inventor onboarding handbook. Everything ships in DOCX, ODT and spreadsheet formats with placeholder fields, operational notes and a short usage guide.

Suitable for R&D operations leads and internal IP administrators who have a clear sense of what documents they need and can configure them independently within their existing storage environment. The templates concern internal administration only and do not constitute advice on substantive filings.

IP Administration Setup Engagement

[ SOLUTION B ]

IP Administration Setup Engagement

SGD 555 — Four-week fixed engagement

A structured four-week project to design and stand up a company's internal IP administration workflow from scratch. Covers register design, intake routing, document-control policies and the standing meeting cadence that keeps the workflow active. Includes selection from the Template Pack with customisation for the company's terminology, configuration inside the chosen storage tool and a written runbook for the operations team.

Concludes with a team training session and a thirty-day follow-up period. The engagement hands over a live, functioning workflow — not a recommendation or a set of instructions to implement later.

Shared standards across all offerings

Confidentiality

Client documentation is handled under written confidentiality agreement. No client register data is retained beyond the active engagement period.

Version control

All templates carry version numbers. Clients are notified when template content is revised and maintain full control over which version they deploy.

Clear scope limits

Internal administration only. Substantive IP and legal matters are referred to qualified practitioners. The boundary is stated clearly at the start of every engagement.

PDPA-aligned handling

Data handling aligns with Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act. We collect only what is needed and do not share client information with third parties.

Structured handover

Every engagement closes with a structured handover — functional workflow, trained team, written documentation. We do not close an engagement mid-process.

Response within one working day

Enquiries are acknowledged and responded to within one Singapore working day. For active engagements, advisor availability is scheduled and respected.
