IP in Malaysia
Malaysia has been a WTO member since 1 January 1995 and is a signatory to the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs), the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property and the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works. Malaysia is also a contracting state of the Patent Cooperation Treaty which enables applicants to seek patent protection in Malaysia by filing an "international" patent application. Malaysia has specific IP legislation to protect inventions, trademarks, industrial designs, geographical
indications, plant varieties, copyright and IC layout-designs. In addition, goodwill in a trademark, trade name and get-up, confidential information and trade secrets are protected by common law.
2013 has thus far been a very dynamic year for IP in Malaysia as we have witnessed and will continue to witness, some major changes which will greatly impact IP right holders and influence IP strategies. The implementation of such changes signals Malaysia’s move towards greater
harmonization of its IP laws with that of the international community, simplification of its IP registration procedures and shortening time frames to registration.
