An invention and a product’s appearance call for different protection.

It pays to identify what you have actually developed before deciding which IP route to explore.

General information for Malaysian businesses, not case-specific legal advice. Application outcomes depend on the facts and applicable rules.

Technical inventions

Patent protection concerns qualifying inventions and is subject to specific legal requirements. Public disclosure, ownership and the timing of an application may affect your options.

Product appearance

Industrial design protection addresses qualifying visual features of products, not the same things as brand names or technical inventions.
