HANDS-ON PATENT UI DRAFTING COURSE

This intensive workshop was conducted by six (6) professional and certified facilitators from the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO), who possess extensive experience in patent drafting and examination. Throughout the programme, participants were given comprehensive and practical exposure to methods of preparing patent documents, starting from prior art searches, writing the background of the innovation, and preparing claims, through to preparing complete specifications for Innovation Utility (UI) patent filings.

The hands-on approach utilized allowed participants to prepare their own patent drafts directly under the guidance of MyIPO facilitators. Individual consultation sessions also helped participants understand essential elements in ensuring that an innovation meets the criteria of novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability before the filing process takes place.
