Qi Yuen graduated in 2017 with an honours degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Nottingham Malaysia. For his undergraduate industrial training, he diligently served as a quality assurance engineer at a well-known multi-national electronics company. During the final year of his undergraduate studies, he was engaged in improving and innovating the mechanical design of an existing medical arm prototype.

With a clear vision to forge a meaningful career in intellectual property, he embarked on a career path focused on intellectual property, driven by a fascination with the intersection of law and technology. He joined Henry Goh as a patent engineer quite immediately upon graduation and delved right into preparing for the Malaysian Patent Agent examinations.

In 2020, Qi Yuen progressed to the next level as a registered patent agent in Malaysia, and as a registered industrial design agent in the following year.

As a patent agent, Qi Yuen has been building his professional experience brick by brick. His daily responsibilities encompass the breadth of patent filing and prosecution with the Malaysian Intellectual Property Office for a variety of clients. His ability to communicate in both written and spoken Chinese endears him to clients who are more comfortable in that language.

Throughout his career in Henry Goh, he has had the privilege of representing a diverse range of clients, from individuals to startups to multinational corporations, across various industries such as offshore engineering, building and construction, and hydraulic ram pumps.

Qi Yuen is committed and dedicated to helping inventors and innovators protect their groundbreaking ideas and navigate the complex landscape of intellectual property law especially in the field of patents. Understanding that each client and patent is unique, he tailors his approach to meet their specific needs and objectives. Be it drafting patent specifications, conducting patent searches, or analysing complex substantive objections raised by examiners, Qi Yuen is dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for his clients.

Throughout his years with Henry Goh, Qi Yuen has had the opportunity to handle substantive patent prosecution matters for both Malaysian cases and foreign cases, including Singapore patent applications and Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) international patent applications, in technological fields such as mechanical engineering, chemistry, and robotics.

As an industrial design agent, Qi Yuen is committed to helping clients protect the aesthetics of their products/articles, providing advice to guide clients on the legal aspects of industrial design protection.

His skills and technical knowledge transcend engineering and intellectual property. Outside of work, Qi Yuen has a knack for videography and photography. He believes in maintaining a healthy work-life balance and finds inspiration in pursuing his passions outside of the office. These passions not only enrich his life but also inspire creativity and innovation in his legal practice.
