Copyright

Copyright is a form of intellectual property right that protects original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic work, computer software, websites, and architecture. In Malaysia, a copyright does not require any formal registration, but as of June 2012, copyright owners can assert ownership by depositing their works with the Malaysian Intellectual Property Office (MyIPO). Our services include assisting owners in depositing their copyrighted work with the MyIPO, drafting and filing copyright registration applications with relevant copyright offices, where applicable, as well as providing advisory on issues of ownership and exploitation of rights, fair-use, enforcement and drafting various agreements related to copyright transactions (e.g. assignments, licensing, escrow, software development, publishing, etc.).
