Question: Malaysian Intellectual Property - TRADEMARK
Answer:
The registration of trade marks in Malaysia is governed by the Trade Marks Act 1976 (the “TMA”) and Trade Marks Regulations 1997. With effect from 1 December 1997, service marks are also registrable. For convenience, the term "trade mark" when used herein also includes "service mark" unless indicated otherwise. Any mark used/proposed to be used in relation to goods or services to indicate a connection in the course of trade between the goods or services and the person having the right to use the mark can be registered. In this regard "mark" includes any device, brand, heading, label, ticket, name, signature, word, letter, numeral or any combination of these elements. Marks in other than English or Malay are also prima facie registrable although where the marks contain non-Roman character(s) a certified translation and transliteration of the character(s) will be required to be furnished.
