How Singapore Is Fast-Tracking FinTech Patent Applications (and making more "Crazy Rich Asians"?)

Image
A leading banker in this Kat's national backyard observed last week that conventional banks that ignore FinTech do so at their long-term peril. Ahead of the curve is Singapore, a world center for banking. Kat friend Constance Leong describes how Singapore is implementing fast track protection of FinTech patent applications. The box-office smash hit, "Crazy Rich Asians" , is on everyone’s lips (and social media feeds) nowadays. The Singapore-set Hollywood movie, featuring an all-Asian cast, comically peers into the lives of the one-percenters strutting their stuff in famously up-market Singapore. Love it or hate it, the movie nails one thing for sure: Singapore is a playground for the financially savvy; a haven for financial technology (commonly known as “ FinTech ”). In this spirit, the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (“IPOS”) has launched a fast-track patent scheme determined to accelerate innovation for finance sector inventions.

Auctioning Art(ificial Intelligence): The IP implications of Edmond de Belamy

Image
The IPKat has had his portrait painted by the AmeriKat - raising another issue of non-human authorship/ownership In the AmeriKat's free time (which does, on occasion, exist), she takes her paw to some painting, being her medium of choice since kittenhood.   The paintbrush is dictated by the AmeriKat's paw which, in turn, is dictated by the spark of artistic expression and emotion lighting up the hemispheres of her brain.  Artistic expression which cannot be downloaded, decoded or analyzed in any complete way.  It is this artistic expression and the old image of the tortured, hungry and, often, poor artist, that historically fueled some of the philosophic underpinnings of some copyright systems  and, in particular, purportedly justified moral rights and duration extensions.  Over the last century, the subject matter of copyright has seen an expansion as the proliferation of information has created "new"  subject matter capable of protection with the jus...
