Quick answer

A trademark registered with the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO) gives the owner exclusive rights to the mark for the goods or services registered, for ten years and renewable. Filing covers a search, choosing the correct classes, the application, examination and publication. Government filing fees are paid by you directly.

Overview

A business name registered with SSM is not a trademark. SSM registration identifies the company; only a trademark registered with MyIPO gives exclusive rights to use a brand name or logo for specific goods or services — and the ability to stop others copying it.

Registration is class-based. Each application covers specific classes of goods or services, so choosing classes that match how the brand is actually used — now and in the next few years — matters as much as the mark itself. A search before filing reduces the risk of objection or opposition.

After filing, MyIPO examines the application and, if accepted, publishes it so third parties can oppose. Registration follows if there is no successful opposition. We manage each stage and respond to examination objections.
