A design (Protect a design someone else has created for me)

Have you considered registering an industrial design? An industrial design protects the visual appearance of a product and can be a valuable commercial asset.

An industrial design means features of shape, configuration, pattern or ornament applied to an article by any industrial process which in the finished article appeal to the eye and are judged by the eyes.

You may also want to consider registering your graphic design as a trade mark. A trade mark is used to distinguish your goods or services from those of other traders. When you register a trade mark you obtain exclusive use of the trade mark throughout Malaysia.
