Intellectual Property (IP)
In an increasingly brand-driven and digital economy, protecting your intellectual property is crucial to safeguarding your business identity, competitive edge, and creative output. Intellectual Property (IP) rights grant creators and businesses the exclusive legal authority to control the use of their inventions, trademarks, artistic works, and branding assets.
At Isadora & Associates, we offer comprehensive IP legal services to help clients secure, manage, and enforce their intellectual property rights under Malaysian law. We serve a wide range of clients from startups and creatives to established companies, ensuring their intangible assets are protected and commercially leveraged. We provide legal services in trademark registration, copyright protection, and IP infringement.
Our IP Legal Services Include:
- Trademark Registration
We assist with the end-to-end process of registering trademarks with the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO), including trademark searches, filing applications, responding to objections, and post-registration advisory.
- Copyright Advisory & Protection
We advise on the legal protection of original works such as writings, music, films, software, and artistic content. We help ensure that copyright owners can assert and exercise their rights effectively.
- Copyright / Intellectual Property Licensing Agreements
We draft and review licensing agreements that allow third parties to use your IP—while ensuring that your rights remain protected. This includes assignment agreements, franchise and brand licensing, and content usage arrangements.
- IP Infringement & Enforcement
We represent clients in IP infringement matters involving unauthorised use, passing off, or exploitation of trademarks and copyrighted works. Our services include issuing legal notices, negotiating settlement, applying for injunctive relief, and initiating legal proceedings in court.
We have successfully handled IP infringement cases involving businesses using identical or deceptively similar names to registered entities. In such cases, we acted for the registered proprietor by filing summonses and applying for court orders to stop the infringement and protect our client’s legal rights.
- Intellectual Property Dispute Resolution
We offer legal representation in IP-related disputes through litigation and alternative dispute resolution methods, including negotiation, mediation, and arbitration. Our goal is to achieve enforceable outcomes while minimizing commercial disruption and reputational risk.
