Internal Intellectual Property Awareness Program
The Legal and Intellectual Property Management Unit is dedicated to raising awareness of intellectual property among UiTM researchers and students through targeted outreach, workshops, and training sessions. Our main goal is to empower them to make informed decisions about the ownership, protection, and strategic use of their research outputs. Below are the proposed modules available for selection:
Module | Duration / Method | Description |
|---|---|---|
Module 1: The Basics of Intellectual Property and Its Management at UiTM | 1 hour 45 minutes / Face-to-Face or Online | This module provides a brief overview of intellectual property law in Malaysia. It covers, among others, the various components of intellectual property (e.g., copyright, patent, industrial design, trade secret). It also includes a brief discussion of interesting and landmark cases in intellectual property law. A glimpse into how intellectual property is managed—via Dasar Harta Intelek UiTM—will also be provided. |
Module 2: Step-by-Step Workshop on Copyright Applications (PRIME and Self-Filing) | 40 minutes / Face-to-Face or Online | Participants of this workshop will be guided through the procedures for submitting copyright applications via the PRIME system. They will also receive guidance on how to make self-filing applications with MyIPO (Malaysian Intellectual Property Office). For this workshop, the organising committee is advised to identify the participants and prepare the necessary documents in advance. These include a copy of the identity card or passport and the copyrighted work—both of which should be checked and approved by the secretariat before the workshop. |
Note: For any inquiries, please contact the secretariat at hartaintelek@uitm.edu.my While these programs are primarily designed for UiTM researchers, we are also open to offering similar programs for students-subject to the objectives of the proposed program at your faculty and the availability of our speakers.
