INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The UM ―Intellectual Property Policy‖ covers intellectual property (IP) ownership. As
an enrolled student of UM, candidates are required to report to the University all IP
with commercial potential. This does not mean that candidates lose their IP rights as
their invention still belongs to them unless they have previously assigned it to another
party. However, UM may make a claim for joint ownership if, for example, candidates
are employed by the University to do research. In such a case, the candidates‘
contract may assign ownership to the Universiti Malaya.
