Publisher: LexisNexisThe grant of patent in Malaysia is governed by the Patent Act 1983 and the Patents Regulations 1986 which came into force on 1 October 1986.

The Act provides not only for the grant of patents but also for the grant of ‘petty’ patents which are also known as ‘utility innovations’. This is to cover the ‘lesser’ inventions which may not be covered under the stringent requirements laid down for the grant of a patent. This is to encourage and support creativity in inventions.
