Bird & Bird appoints Singapore IP partner
Law firm Bird & Bird has appointed Anan Sivananthan as a partner in the intellectual property group, based in Singapore.
Sivananthan joins from audio-visual equipment business Creative Technology, where he served as associate vice president and head of the global legal team.
He has experience in patent litigation, anti-counterfeiting, IP management and monetisation, and trademark litigation.
Matthew Laight, head of the Asia-Pacific IP group at the firm, said: “Anan brings a different perspective and expertise to the group, given his knowledge base and strong commercial insights as to what the clients' needs are, and how to design and implement a global patent monetisation strategy.”
Lorraine Tay, co-head of Bird & Bird Singapore and head of the firm’s IP group, added: “The Singapore IP group will benefit enormously from Anan's appointment as his skills and expertise will further enhance our current offering and enable us to provide the full suite of IP services to clients in the region."
