Frequently Asked Questions

What can be protected under copyright in Malaysia?

Copyright protects original literary works, musical works, artistic works, films, sound recordings, and broadcasts. The work must be expressed in a tangible form to qualify for protection.

Why should I register my copyright with OriginIP?

Official registration provides prima facie evidence of ownership in court. We help you compile the mandatory Voluntary Notification of Copyright documentation to establish proof of creation dates and authorship.

How long does copyright protection last?

Generally, for literary, musical, or artistic works, protection lasts for the life of the author plus 50 years. For sound recordings and broadcasts, it extends 50 years from the year of first publication.
