Patent Services
Protecting inventions, technical processes, and utility innovations through rigorous patentability assessment, precise drafting, and disciplined prosecution with MyIPO.
Patentability Search & Assessment
Before filing, a thorough patentability search evaluates whether your invention is genuinely new, inventive, and industrially applicable — the three legal thresholds for patent protection in Malaysia. OriginIP helps assess patentability early, identifying prior art risks, potential conflicts, and structural registration issues. This front-end diligence reduces the likelihood of costly rejections and shapes a stronger claim strategy from day one.
Drafting, Filing & Prosecution
From technical claim drafting to responding to examination reports, OriginIP manages the full patent application lifecycle with the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO). Whether you’re filing a standard patent for a novel invention or a utility innovation certificate for a practical improvement, our approach combines precise legal drafting with commercial awareness — so your invention is protected in a way that supports licensing, investment, and long-term market position.

Frequently Asked Questions
A patent is a legal right granted for an invention, giving the owner exclusive rights to make, use, or commercialise the invention for up to 20 years in Malaysia. OriginIP assists with patent filing, prosecution, and portfolio strategy — coordinating with MyIPO to protect innovations effectively.
Patentable innovations in Malaysia must be new, inventive, and industrially applicable, and may include products, processes, or improvements. OriginIP helps assess patentability before filing to reduce risks of rejection.
A utility innovation is a type of invention that improves or provides a practical function or usefulness in a product, process, or device.
It doesn’t have to be a completely new product — it can be an improvement or modification that makes something work better, last longer, or be more efficient.
In Malaysia, utility innovations can be protected under a utility innovation certificate, which usually has a shorter protection period than a standard patent.
Filing a patent involves complex legal and technical requirements. While it is possible to file individually, using a professional reduces the risk of rejection or weak protection, giving your invention the best chance of full legal protection.
Patent watch alerts notify you of new patent filings or publications that may be similar to your invention. They help you stay informed, identify potential conflicts, and protect your intellectual property.
Yes. You can set up patent watch alerts to monitor new patent applications in your field. This helps you stay updated on similar inventions and take action to protect your intellectual property.
At OriginIP, we can set up and manage patent watch alerts for your inventions. By monitoring new patent applications in your field, we help you stay informed of potential conflicts and take early action to protect your intellectual property.
A patent licensing agreement allows a patent owner to give permission to another party to use their invention, usually in exchange for royalties or fees. It helps the owner monetise their patent while the licensee can legally use the technology. OriginIP supports clients through IP commercialisation strategies, including licensing structures.
While commercialisation is possible without a patent, securing patent protection in Malaysia significantly strengthens your ability to license, sell, or attract investors. OriginIP advises on IP protection strategies before market entry to maximise commercial value.
