The UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO) has named Tan Shin Yuan (pictured below) as its fourth IP attaché, based in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
Tan will work closely with UK Trade and Investment and Foreign and Commonwealth Office representatives in the region, where she will help UK companies capitalise on innovation opportunities.
The appointment is hoped to strengthen trade relations between the UK and the growing market in the ASEAN region, which includes Thailand and Singapore.
