India's United Nations Mission in Geneva, after her appointment, termed it as "a proud moment for India," as she would be chairing an international group of judges and guiding WIPO's cooperation with judiciaries in intellectual property (IP) as chairperson.
WIPO welcomed Justice Singh and noted her further function as co-chair of the Working Group on Regulatory Considerations on Artificial Intelligence in Health of the World Health Organization.
The Advisory Board includes nine further members who advise WIPO's work with judiciaries. Members act in their own capacity for a specified term.

She obtained her law degree from University Law College, Bangalore, and LL.M. from the University of Cambridge. As a tribute to her work, the "Prathiba M. Singh Scholarship" for LL.M. scholars was instituted at Cambridge in 2013.
Prathiba was included in the list of the 50 most influential intellectual property persons in the world in the years 2021 and 2022.
The Advisory Board newly inducted includes Luis Antonio Camargo Vergara (Panama), Du Weike (China), Zhanar Mukhamedkaliyevna Duisenova (Kazakhstan), Mohammad ElZend (Egypt), Jean-Christophe Gayet (France), Michael Manson (Canada), Mustapher Mohamed Siyani (Tanzania), Savvas S.
