Essay
Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the human mind, such as creations; literary and
artistic works, designs, and symbols, names and images which being a usage in the commerce.
Intellectual property is being protected in the Malaysian law. There are several types of
intellectual property for example Patents, Copyright, Trademarks, Trade Secret and etc which
enables people to earn recognition or financial benefits from what they invent or create. By
striking the right balance between the interests of innovators and the wider public interest, the
aim of this Intellectual Property system is to foster an environment in which creativity and
innovation can flourish.
The company that I have chosen to discuss about is WB Fresh Coconut Supplier Sdn Bhd. WB
Fresh Coconut Supplier Sdn. Bhd. was established in the supply and distribution of fresh young
coconuts in Malaysia. Founded in 2003 by young entrepreneurs with long established family
background in the distribution of fresh and frozen products, WB Fresh Coconut Supplier Sdn.
Bhd. has a strong foothold in the market, distributing and exporting management of fresh young
coconuts. Their close relationship with suppliers in Thailand and the strategic network of
distribution channels, supported by our strong logistic management to monitor and control
quality and freshness of every coconut, right from the tree to our table. This is the little intro
about the company that am going to research about and going to discuss the Intellectual Property
of the company below.
The existing Intellectual Property of this company is; WB Fresh Coconut Supplier Sdn Bhd owns
copyrights of their bottles design, coconut design, Logo, its WB Fresh Coconut Supplier Sdn
Bhd name as well and generally anything it creates that can be considered an original work
requiring creative effort.
Copying infringement in Malaysia include fair dealing, where according to the Malaysias
Copyright Act says that, only the purpose of private research or news reporting are allowed to be
copied. For example, if the newspaper reporter is writing a story on this WB Fresh Coconut
Supplier Sdn Bhd then it is allowed to displays its company logo.
