Frequently Asked Questions
What trademark and intellectual property services does WFN Partners provide?
We advise on trademark registration, brand protection, IP enforcement, licensing, and disputes involving trademarks and other intellectual property rights.
How do I register a trademark in Malaysia?
Trademark registration in Malaysia is filed with MyIPO and involves a search, application, examination, and a period during which the mark may be opposed before registration is granted.
What happens if someone infringes my trademark?
Where a trademark is infringed, available options can include a cease and desist letter, negotiation or legal proceedings to enforce your rights.
Can you help with trademark opposition proceedings?
Yes. We assist clients who wish to oppose a pending trademark application, as well as those responding to an opposition against their own mark.
How long does trademark registration take in Malaysia?
The timeframe depends on the application, whether objections or oppositions arise, and other procedural factors, so it varies from case to case.
