No.1 Celebration!

For the 5th consecutive year, HG has been ranked Tier 1 Firm for patent and trade mark prosecution work in Malaysia. The People of Henry Goh celebrated this double achievement on 04 April 2013. First, they took off from work early and enjoyed a delicious East West Fusion Hi-Tea spread at Zang Toi Café. There was also a complimentary lucky draw of two special edition T Shirts by the famed designer himself. The evening continued when the staff caught the latest action flick “G.I. Joe : Retaliation”. With popcorn and drinks in hand, all the HG Joes and Janes had a thrilling end to a wonderful evening.

Malaysia joins the Madrid Protocol

 

The wait is finally over! On 27 September 2019, Malaysia deposited with WIPO its instrument of accession to the Madrid Protocol, becoming the 106th member of the Madrid System.

The Protocol will take effect for the country on 27 December 2019. From that date, local brand owners in Malaysia can begin making use of the international registration system to protect their trademarks in over 120 territories of the System’s other 105 (currently) members by filing a single international application and paying a single set of fees.

Likewise, foreign trademark owners can take advantage of the System’s simple designation process to seek protection here.

Malaysia has made declarations to extend the refusal period to 18 months, to receive individual fees, to require a declaration of intention to use the mark and to mandate that the recording of licenses in the International Register shall have no effect in Malaysia unless recorded here.

Stay tuned for more updates from us as we close the year 2019.
