Pin-Ping Oh

Pin-Ping Oh is a Partner in the Intellectual Property Group in Singapore and part of the Media, Entertainment & Sports team. Her primary practice area is Intellectual Property Law.

She focuses on contentious IP matters including IP infringement litigation, patent revocation actions and trade mark oppositions, but also advises clients extensively on non-contentious matters including IP commercialisation, patent and trade mark freedom-to-operate issues and brand protection.

Being not only a lawyer but also a patent attorney with a Master's degree in Chemical Engineering, she has a keen interest in how things work and a deep appreciation of not only the legal issues but also the technology underlying clients' businesses. As a former engineer, she understands the difficulty many clients have with 'lawyer-speak' and strives to deliver practical, commercially-minded advice.

She has acted for international media and technology companies in a range of patent, copyright and trademark disputes both before the Singapore courts and the Registry. She regularly advises clients on patent validity, infringement and freedom-to-operate issues, and on multi-jurisdictional trade mark conflict and enforcement issues. She is also experienced in drafting IP licence, R&D collaboration and development agreements.

She participates in various committees including the Association of Singapore Patent Attorneys' Exco and the Asian Patent Attorneys Association's copyright sub-committee. She is also on the Examination Committee for the Singapore Qualifying Examination for Singapore Patent Attorneys.
