Editorial coverage

Singapore

Making a debut in the rankings this year, Infinitus Law Corporation is highly recommended by peers and clients, with a client praising its "excellent reputation" and "superior professional service and advice". Recognised for its expertise in trade mark work, the firm recently reinforced its ranks with the hire of associate head Patsy Koh from Tan Peng Chin in November 2010. This addition shows the firm's intent to grow its patent practice. Director Teresa O'Connor is regarded highly in the IP community, with a client recommending: "In my opinion, she is highly knowledgeable in this field and provides sound advice. In fact, we had some issues with the trade mark registration in another jurisdiction and she was very proactive in providing options and solutions in overcoming this hurdle with an eye to keeping cost down."

A notable matter for the firm is its representation of Nintendo in trade mark oppositions relating to the likelihood of confusion between Zii and the client's mark Wii and related derivative marks ZiiSound, ZiiLife etc. A further issue is whether Wii as a mark is well known to the public in Singapore and whether there is dilution of the trade mark or taking advantage of its distinctive character present in this matter.
