Description
This textbook provides practical insights and guidance from an experienced group of intellectual property (IP) law practitioners explaining the law, practice and procedure of protecting and enforcing IP rights in Malaysia. Edited by an eminent judge and an accomplished IP law practitioner, this book is structured into five principal parts covering Trademarks, Patents, Copyright, Industrial Designs and Trade Secrets. The expert commentary presents a comprehensive account of the substantive rules that govern these areas of IP law, with the focus being primarily on the Malaysian position.
In addition to the thorough survey of local law, references have been made to case law from foreign jurisdictions where uncertainties arise in the local position. This provides a different perspective on possible approaches that may be applicable in addressing the local issues and the strategic planning of IP enforcement action in Malaysia. References to applicable international treaties and conventions ensure that coverage is complete and authoritative. The amendments brought in by the Copyright (Amendment) Act 2022 (Act A1645) and the Patents (Amendment) Act 2022 (Act A1649) as well as the accompanying new subsidiary legislation have been carefully considered.
This reference guide is one not to be missed by IP law practitioners, trademark and patent agents, in-house counsel, business owners and anyone interested in Malaysian IP law.
