We help you gain expert support in patent registration Malaysia, patent search and drafting in Malaysia, and complete patent filing solutions and strategy that ensure your invention becomes a strong, enforceable asset.

Why Patent Your Invention?

  • Exclusive rights & commercial advantage
    Once your patent is granted, you gain the right to prevent others from making, using or selling the invention in Malaysia.
  • Investor and market confidence
    A granted / registered patent bolsters your credibility, enhances your valuation and opens licensing or joint-venture opportunities.
  • First-to-file urgency
    Malaysia operates on a “first-to-file” basis, so early filing is critical.
  • Patent protection is territorial
    A Malaysian patent protects your invention only in Malaysia, so international strategy matters too.

Key Considerations & Common Pitfalls

  • Novelty, Inventive Step & Industrial Applicability – Your invention must meet these criteria under the Patents Act. 
  • Disclosure Before Filing – Any public disclosure prior to filing can jeopardise the novelty of your invention.
  • Territorial Limitation – A Malaysian patent does not automatically protect you overseas. International routes must be considered.
