Malaysia trademark search
How to search and register a trademark in Malaysia, from official sources. Signa does not sync the MyIPO register yet. It holds WIPO Madrid designations that cover Malaysia.
Search the MyIPO register
IP Online Search (Trade Marks) is Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia's own search tool.
- Languages
- English
- Account required
- Yes
- Limits
- The search can only be used after registering and logging in, so its search fields and results were not seen; MyIPO's own page also points to WIPO's Global Brand Database and the ASEAN IP Register for searches without an account.
How to search
- From MyIPO's Search Trademark page, open IP Online and register as a user (separate registration routes for individuals and agents).
- Log in to IP Online; the Trade Marks Search link on the start page states that you will be required to log on.
- Search trade mark applications with the Simple Search or Advanced Search module.

Good to know
- Under section 95(2) of the Trademarks Act 2019, a person who does not reside or carry on business principally in Malaysia must appoint and authorize a registered trademark agent.
- A trademark is registered as at the filing date of the application, which is deemed the date of registration; registration lasts ten years and is renewable for further ten-year periods (sections 36 and 39 of the Trademarks Act 2019).
- On application by an aggrieved person, the Court can revoke a registration if, within three years after the notification of registration is issued, the mark has not been put to genuine use in Malaysia, or if use has been suspended for an uninterrupted three years, without proper reasons (section 46 of the Trademarks Act 2019).
Madrid Protocol and regional systems
Malaysia is a member of the Madrid Protocol since 2019-12-27, so an international registration filed through WIPO can designate it.
What Signa holds for Malaysia
MyIPO records are not covered by Signa yet. International registrations designating Malaysia are searchable through WIPO Madrid data.
