Frequently Asked Questions
What is patent registration?
Patent registration is a legal process that grants exclusive rights to inventors or assignees over their inventions, preventing others from using or selling the patented invention without permission for a specified period. It encourages innovation, protects intellectual property, and allows inventors to commercialize their inventions.
How much does it cost?
The expenses associated with patent registration fluctuate based on the specific country and the scope of services required. Usually an offer for patent registration is based on number of claims,number of independent claims, number of pages, technology area, scope of work (search, drafting, filing), size of applicant’s entity etc. Our exceptional service ensures utmost transparency, offering you a competitive and predetermined fee for each application within every country.
What countries can I register my patent in?
With an extensive network of experienced attorneys, we offer comprehensive assistance in trademark registration across more than 180 countries globally.
What are the three criteria for registering a patent?
Your patent must: be innovative, have characteristics or functions not known in this field (Novelty); exceed the general technical level of the field, contain solutions that a specialist with average skills cannot come to (High technical level); be suitable for industrial and commercial use (Utility).
What are the main patent registration stages?
There are 5 main stages - drafing the application, filing the application, passing the examination of the application, registering the patent and securing its annual maintenance.
What is a patentability search?
A patentability search is a search through databases of published documents to see if someone else has already described your invention or something similar to it. When you want to file a patent, it’s necessary to conduct a global patentability search and determine the closest technical solutions, find out how the patented technical solution is different from your invention and define the scope of claims to be applied for examination.
What is PCT?
The PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) serves to streamline the patent application process, making it feasible to apply for patent protection for an invention simultaneously in 157 countries. There are 2 main phases: an international phase and a national phase. Despite it being an application that simplifies the procedure, you will have to pay fees in each applied country. You also need to file a PCT application within 12 months from tthe date of filing the first application and then you will have 30 months to file for the national phases.

Patent Registration in Malaysia: A Step-by-Step Guide for Innovators
Securing patent registration is an essential step for any individual or company aiming to protect their technological innovations. The process is managed by the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO) and grants inventors exclusive rights to their inventions. A valid intellectual property right prevents others from using, producing, or selling the protected invention without permission for up to 20 years, provided all renewal fees are paid. This article outlines the key aspects of registering an invention, the procedures involved, and tips for navigating the system effectively.
Understanding Patentability
Not every invention qualifies for registration. The invention must fulfill three core criteria:
1. Novelty – The invention must be new and not publicly disclosed anywhere in the world before the filing date.
2. Inventive step – It must not be obvious to a person skilled in the relevant technical field.
3. Industrial applicability – The invention must be capable of being used in some form of industry.
Examples of protectable innovations include machinery, methods of manufacturing, chemical compositions, and electronic devices. Scientific discoveries, mathematical methods, or purely aesthetic creations do not qualify for exclusive protection.
The Patent Registration Process in Malaysia
To register an invention, applicants must submit a detailed description of their invention, along with claims and supporting technical drawings. The process can be completed manually or electronically through MyIPO’s digital system. Below is a simplified breakdown of the steps involved:
- Engage a registered patent agent
A qualified representative can help ensure compliance with all formal and technical requirements. - Conduct a prior art search
This helps assess whether the invention meets the novelty criteria. - Prepare the application documents
These include a description, abstract, claims, and any relevant illustrations. - File the protection request
Submissions can be done physically or through the digital filing portal. - Formal examination by MyIPO
MyIPO verifies the completeness and format of the application. - Request substantive examination
This in-depth review assesses the invention’s novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability. - Pay the required charge
The total cost varies depending on the number of claims and length of the specification. - Grant and publication
If successful, the exclusive right is issued and published in the official gazette.
Key Considerations for Patent Owners
Securing a legal monopoly is just the beginning. To maintain protection, owners must pay annual maintenance charges, beginning from the second year after filing. Missing payments can result in the lapse of rights. In many cases, it’s advisable to work with an intellectual property attorney or lawyer who specializes in innovation-related matters, particularly when dealing with international filings or oppositions.
To avoid delays or rejections, consider the following:
- Use professional drafting services to prepare clear and enforceable claims
- Keep the invention confidential before filing
- Track deadlines for examination and renewals
- Choose the appropriate filing route (direct national filing, PCT, or Paris Convention)
- Retain all supporting documents and technical illustrations
Why Patent Registration in Malaysia Matters
With its growing emphasis on innovation, Malaysia provides a supportive framework for inventors to register and commercialize their ideas. Whether you're a startup developing proprietary software or a manufacturing business creating mechanical systems, legal protection adds tangible value to your business. It also helps attract investors, licensees, and commercial partners by signaling serious commitment to intellectual property strategy.
Conclusion
Navigating patent registration in Malaysia requires an understanding of legal, technical, and procedural dimensions. From selecting a qualified representative to managing the examination and post-grant obligations, each stage demands strategic planning. With digital access via online platforms and available legal support, Malaysian and international applicants can confidently protect their innovations. Whether you’re a solo inventor or a global enterprise, securing exclusive rights is a critical investment in your intellectual assets.
