Industrial application as utility requirement and the future of Malaysian biotechnology industry

Abstract

Patent law only protects practical works of arts and not ideas or concept. This has always been the basis of the second pa - tentability requirement. Philosophically it is to separate basic research science from applied science, avoids protecting pre- mature, unwarranted, frivolous or injurious invention. Pro - cedurally inventor must demonstrate the specific function, practical benefits and how to use the invention. Otherwise he must conduct further research to perfect the invention un - til the real utility, capabilities and parameters of the same are known finally.
