Malaysia accedes to the PCT
We are pleased to report that Malaysia became the 131st contracting state of the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) when its instrument of accession was deposited at WIPO on 16 May 2006.
Malaysia may be designated as a state in any PCT application filed on or after 16 August 2006. As such, applicants should keep in mind the option of national phase entry in Malaysia in due course.
Nationals and residents of Malaysia can file PCT applications with the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO), with delayed payment for a month as the official fees are yet to be published by MyIPO.
The International Search Authority and International Preliminary Examination Authority for Malaysia PCT applications are Australia, EU & Korea.
Should you wish to know more about how we can assist you with your PCT applications in Malaysia, please contact Mr Alex Tan at mail@ecsf-asia.com
