Patent
Although the world’s patent filing systems were designed for the industrial age, they have evolved and the patenting of inventions remains just as relevant today. Effective drafting, prosecution and exploitation of patents call for a sound aptitude for technology, in-depth knowledge of the applicable law and practice, and excellent communication skills.
Trademark
In today’s crowded marketplace saturated with brands and products, standing out from the competition has never been more important or challenging. It is easy for a product or service to fall below the consumer radar, no matter how superior. A good trademark provides the crucial link between providers of goods or services and their customers, and is the key to standing out amongst the crowd.
Industrial Design
Industrial design registration has acquired much greater significance in Malaysia in recent times, reflecting a growing recognition among businesses and consumers alike of the pivotal role design plays in product differentiation and consumer choice. As consumers increasingly take the technical function of goods for granted, design often becomes the decisive factor in a purchase.
Copyright
In the realm of copyright in Malaysia, our services encompass the filing of copyright notifications, advisory and enforcement work. Malaysia, as one of the Berne Convention countries, does not require formal registration of copyright, since copyright exists in every work which is eligible for copyright. Nonetheless, clients are advised to take advantage of the voluntary copyright notification (VCN) system introduced in June 2012 for more tangible protection of their works.
Product Registration
Under Malaysia’s Control of Drugs and Cosmetics Regulations 1984 (“the Regulations”), it is mandatory to obtain approval (in the form of product registration) for any drugs or pharmaceutical products, traditional medicines and veterinary products before they can be manufactured, supplied, sold or imported into Malaysia (unless specifically exempted by the Regulations). Such products must be registered with the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (“NPRA”) (formerly known as National Pharmaceutical Control Bureau).
Geographical Indication
Malaysia’s Geographical Indications Act 2022 (“the 2022 Act”) protects an indication that can identify any goods (wine and spirits, manufactured goods, handicrafts, food and agricultural products) as originating from a particular country, territory, region or locality, where there is a given quality, reputation or characteristics to those goods that is attributable to that geographical origin. Well-known examples include Parmesan cheese, Sabah tea, Sarawak pepper, Darjeeling tea and Scotch whiskey. The 2022 Act replaces the former Geographical Indications Act 2000 and offers a wider scope of protection for geographical indication (GI) proprietors and greater clarity of the examination process.
Plant Variety Protection
Plant varieties are improved for numerous agronomic reasons, such as better yields, quality, and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Breeding these new plant varieties is a resource-intensive activity in terms of costs, infrastructure, genetic resources, and the breeders’ knowledge and experience. It can also be time-consuming. This is why Plant Variety Protection is important.
