Intellectual Property

ownership. As an enrolled student of UM, candidate is required to report to the
University all IP with commercial potential. This does not mean that candidate
will lose his/her IP rights as their invention still belong to them unless they have

research. In such a case, the candidates‘ contract may assign ownership to the
University of Malaya.
