This combination allows OriginIP Consultancy to advise not only on legal requirements, but on business objectives, operational efficiency, and long-term brand strategy.

OriginIP Consultancy
Boutique PartnershipAll three perspectives, delivered with senior-level, direct attention.
Deep expertise in trademark examination & office actions
At Skrine — one of Malaysia's largest and most established law firms — my primary focus was responding to objections and office actions issued by the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO). This meant analysing examination reports, resolving registrability issues, and guiding applications through to successful registration.
Working across local and international clients built a practitioner's instinct for what actually moves an application from objection to registration.

Filings, renewals & records
