Since the publication of the second edition of Law of Intellectual Property of Singapore in 2014, there have been many important legal developments. The courts have continued to chart paths that diverge from other jurisdictions and there have been many fundamental changes to the legislative framework around Intellectual Property. In 2019 it was announced that the Copyright Act 1987 would be replaced by a brand new enactment and on 6 July 2021, the Copyright Bill was introduced in Parliament. This new legislation forms the basis of an entirely reworked section of the third edition book, Part 2 - Copyright.

This Revised 3rd Edition includes updates primarily concerned with IP-related legislative changes that were brought into force between July 2021 (the printing of the 3rd Edition) and 1 April 2022.
