“The 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. These statutes also govern the validity of patent rights for inventions in Malaysia. The Act has repealed the earlier system of registering patents in the UK and re-registering them in Malaysia. 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. An applicant must file a patent or utility innovation application with the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO) to secure the grant of a Malaysian patent. This in turn gives the owner protection of the patent or utility innovation and the exclusive right to stop others from manufacturing, using and/or selling the owner’s invention in Malaysia without the owner’s consent or permission. This publication is designed to offer a clear overview of the legislation that governs Patent and seek to explain the legal approach adopted by the courts. The publication includes : Commentaries on defining specific terms within the Act, The commentaries also cross-refer to local and international cases, Relevant local and international legislation, Summary of recent Patent cases This publication will serve as an indispensable guide and an essential reference for intellectual property practitioners specializing in patent, corporate counsel, prosecutors, judges, students, lecturers, as well as researchers.

MANAGEMENT CORPORATIONS IN MALAYSIA ( OWNING STRATA-TITLED PROPERTY UNDER MALAYSIA’S STRATA MANAGEMENT ACT 2013 ) SECOND EDITION
RM100.00Management corporations have statutory duties and powers under Malaysia’s strata laws. Owners, on their part, must be engaged to ensure that their investment, lifestyle and financial well-being are protected and enhanced when living in strata developments. This book gives owners the tools to do that. It expresses in as plain a language as possible the meaning of the key provisions of the Strata Management Act 2013 as well as the Regulations and By-Laws made under it.

Ambush marketing is any attempt to create an unauthorised or false association with an event thereby interfering with the legitimate contractual rights of the event’s official marketing partners. Looking at both traditional intellectual property rights (such as trade marks, copyright and designs) as they relate to sporting events, and event-specific legislation (such as that of the Olympics), this book gives comprehensive and detailed coverage of ambush marketing. Also considered are the areas of law which can be used to prevent ambush marketing by intrusion (such as laws to prevent fly postering, street trading, the placing of posters and billboards, and control of aerial space). With the United Kingdon hosting three major events; the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012; the Commonwealth Games in 2014; and the Rugby World Cup in 2015, this new edition provides a timely and topical update on the area. A materials section is included providing ‘ambush marketing’ specific legislation both in the UK and other countries.
