TAN Shin Yuan will fill the post, according to a UK Department of Business, Information and Skills (BIS) press release. The IP Office is part of the BIS. She will be based at the British High Commission in Singapore. “In previous roles,” the release said, Tan “has handled IP management for clients, advising licensing counterparts, potential start-ups, inventors and management. TAN Shin Yuan’s qualifications including her Master of Law in IP from the University of Edinburgh and the specialist hands-on experience she brings makes her ideal for the market she will cover.” ASEAN includes original members Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand, plus Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. The three existing IP liaison officers (IP attachés) are: Tom Duke, appointed in December 2011, based in China; Anshika Jha appointed in May 2012, based in India; and Sheila Alves, appointed in August 2012, based in Brazil.
