Intellectual Property and Intangible Asset Disputes: A Primer
Mr. Gabriel Ong
Gabriel serves as Senior Legal Counsel and tribunal hearing officer (Principal Assistant Registrar) for disputes that come under the jurisdiction of the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS). His core portfolio at IPOS involves policy work in relation to promoting and furthering Singapore’s attractiveness as a hub for IP / Tech dispute resolution, as well as contributing to legislative reform in this connection. Prior to joining IPOS, Gabriel spent five years practising in the field of IP litigation at one of the top law practices in Singapore. In that time, he had the extraordinary privilege of acting and assisting in a number of high profile IP cases, including Nestle v Petra Foods (which resulted in the invalidation of Nestle’s 3-dimensional trade mark registrations for the shape of its KitKat chocolate bars).
An adjunct Assistant Professor with the National University of Singapore law since 2021, Gabriel co-teaches the “Foundations of IP Law” module (since 2020), and the “IP Arbitration” module (since 2022). Apart from his work at NUS law, Gabriel has also conducted various ad-hoc lectures and talks, including at the Singapore Judicial College, the IP Academy of Singapore (the education arm of IPOS International), and to police officers at the IPRB (Intellectual Property Rights Branch). Gabriel also was a contributing author to the IP chapter of Bullen & Leake & Jacob’s Singapore Precedents of Pleadings (2016) and the copyright chapter of Halsburys Laws of Singapore (2018 and 2020 Re-issues.).
