Power Of Attorney For Patent Renewal In Malaysia

Question 1
If our client does not wish to have a renewal certificate, is it necessary to ask for a Power of Attorney?

Answer 1
Please be advised that even though your client may not require the Renewal Certificate, we are still required to submit the Power Of Attorney to the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO), which serves as an authorization from the client for our firm to pay the annuities on their behalf as well as confirmation that the payment will be accepted and recorded by the MyIPO.
