The current law governing layout designs of integrated circuits in Malaysia, namely the Layout-Designs of Integrated Circuits Act 2000 (Act 601), provides automatic protection without a formal registration system administered by the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia(MyIPO).
The absence of a public Register may create practical difficulties for technology companies in conducting due diligence and establishing ownership of layout designs. In addition, unlike the Trademarks Act 2019 and the Copyright Act 1987, the 601 Act does not provide for criminal enforcement mechanisms.
To address these issues, it is proposed that the new legislation establishes a Register of Layout Designs to be administered by MyIPO. A registration system could provide designers with a certificate of registration that serves as prima facie evidence of ownership, thereby improving legal certainty and facilitating commercial transactions.
It is also suggested that the new legislation consider introducing statutory fines, criminal sanctions for serious acts of infringement, and appropriate enforcement powers for the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN). Such measures may strengthen the enforcement framework and enhance protection against infringement.
