Here are the top 3 questions on patent protection for invention:
Question: What is a patent and what does a patent protect?
A patent is an exclusive legal right granted to the owner of
the invention to use, sell, license, exploit or otherwise deal with the invention. A patent protects new inventions which are technical and solves
a specific problem in the field of technology.
Question: What is an invention?
An invention can be any product, device, process, composition,
configuration, substance from any field of technology and it must be new and
not obvious.
Question: Does a patent obtained in Malaysia have international protection?
No. A patent granted by the Malaysian Patent Office only has
effect in Malaysia.
However, there
is an international patent which is the PCT patent which covers a large
number of countries worldwide including all major industrialised
countries in the world.
What is a PCT Patent?
PCT
allows an applicant to seek "worldwide" or "international" patent protection for an invention in each of the
member countries of the Treaty simultaneously by filing only one patent
application in one office, one language and one fee. This is particularly
useful if you wish to apply for patent protection in a large number of
countries. However, the examination process of the PCT application will still have to be
conducted in the respective countries and will have to meet the respective
national requirements. Malaysia is a member country of
the Treaty hence you can apply for the international patent registration in Malaysia.
If you are a foreign applicant or agent, we can handle the Malaysian National Phase PCT filing or direct patent filing into Malaysia at a very affordable cost.
