IPR Seminar for SMEs, Bangkok Thailand

Our Senior Legal Counsel, Ms. Azlina Aisyah Khalid was recently invited to participate as one of the speakers for a seminar organised by the Thailand Office of Small and Medium Enterprises Promotion (OSMEP) on behalf of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) SME Working Group.

The seminar held in Bangkok on 17 and 18 September 2014 was aimed to foster discussions among the stakeholders, policy makers and beneficiaries regarding the need for SMEs to understand and utilize their IPR systems. The occasion brought together 92 participants from a wide range of APEC economies, with speakers and panelists representing professionals, academics, policy-makers, and SME leaders. Overall, the seminar accomplished its objectives based on the favourable feedback received. Henry Goh is proud to have contributed to the success of the Seminar.

Trademarks Act 2019

Dear Valued Clients & Associates

We are pleased to announce that the long-awaited overhaul of trademark laws in Malaysia is finally coming to fruition. The all-new Trademarks Bill 2019 was tabled in the Malaysian Parliament on 11 April 2019 and was approved, with some amendments, by the Lower House (Dewan Rakyat) on 02 July 2019 and the Upper House (Dewan Negara) on 23 July. Pending royal assent, it is now most certain that the new Act will come into effect by the last quarter of this year.

We will keep you apprised when the Trademarks Act 2019 becomes enforceable and the accompanying Trademark Regulations are issued.

In the meantime, please click here for some key takeaways from the new statute.
