Patents Filed for Projects under Research, Innovation and Enterprise Plans in Last 10 Years

Over the past 10 years, Singapore's public research institutions filed around 8,000 patents under RIE plans. About 20% were commercialised through licensing or assignment, typically within two to four years. Uncommercialised patents are supported through active marketing, industry outreach and targeted engagement with potential licensees.
