新加坡命令Aupen和创始人Nicholas Tan纠正Instagram对IPOS的虚假指控, Singapore ordered Aupen and founder Nicholas Tan to correct false Instagram claims about IPOS, which falsely claimed IPOS advised against a trademark dispute with Target and favored foreign businesses.

根据POFMA,新加坡手提包品牌Aupen和创始人Nicholas Tan被命令纠正Instagram关于新加坡知识产权办公室(IPOS)的虚假指控。 Singapore handbag brand Aupen and founder Nicholas Tan have been ordered under POFMA to correct false claims made on Instagram about the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS). 这些文章的日期为9月9日、15日和16日, 错误地指出IPOS反对与目标公司进行商标纠纷, 声称新加坡法律有利于外国企业, 并歪曲IPOS在法律改革问题上的立场。 The posts, dated September 9, 15, and 16, falsely stated IPOS advised against pursuing a trademark dispute with Target, claimed Singapore’s laws favor foreign businesses, and misrepresented IPOS’s position on legal reform. 政府事实核查员证实这些主张是虚假的,指出它们损害了公众对IPOS的信任,错误地建议当地企业不应维护其知识产权权利。 Government fact-checkers confirmed the claims were false, noting they damaged public trust in IPOS and wrongly suggested local businesses should not defend their IP rights. IPOS澄清说,它没有提供法律咨询,仅提供一般信息,并鼓励独立律师。 IPOS clarified it provided no legal advice, only general information, and encouraged independent counsel. Aupen的商标在新加坡有效,美国与目标的任何纠纷都将分开。 Aupen’s trademark is valid in Singapore, and any U.S. dispute with Target would be separate. 纠正指令要求公布政府提供的官方澄清链接,但截至2025年9月22日,尚未张贴任何更正。 The correction directive requires publishing a government-provided link to the official clarification, but as of September 22, 2025, no correction had been posted.
