Write a note on Utility Model System of Malayasia

Malaysia is one of the few countries that has a ‘utility model’ system under its patent rights system. The Patent Act 1983 grants two types of right for invention – first is a patent right per se and the second is what is referred to as ‘Certificate for Utility Innovation’ (hereinafter referred to as “CUI”). Many owners of novel industrial products are not fully clear of what is the best way to protect the intellectual property rights for their products. This article will attempt to explain the unique features of the Malaysian CUI, to show the differences between a CUI and Industrial Design Rights and to give some practical advice on the best way to protect novel industrial products in Malaysia.

Like in other countries, patents for industrial products are granted when the claimed feature(s) of the product are (i) novel; (ii) involves an inventive step (that is it is not obvious to a person skilled in the art); and (iii) it is industrially applicable. To qualify for a patent,Malaysia demands absolute novelty – in that, the invention should not have been published anywhere in the world by way of oral disclosure, written documents or by way of use.

Certificate for Utility Innovation is provided for any improvement of a known product. As there is no legal requirement for inventiveness or lack of obviousness, then it can be argued that any improvement however slight would make that product qualify for CUI so long as it meets the novelty requirement. Subject matter for which a CUI can be granted is the same as that for the grant of patents. That is, nonpatentable subject matter, such as scientific discoveries, method of treatment of human or animal body by surgery or therapy, etc. applies equally to CUI.
