The emphasis on Intellectual Property (IP) is important for Malaysia to move up from just being a user of technology to the inventor of a technology. At MIMOS, emphasis is given on knowledge generation particularly through IP creation.

MIMOS encourages its researchers to turn their ideas and novelties into IPs. For every MIMOS employee, the target is to have at least one (1) patent disclosure accepted by the IP Committee each year. Commercialisation of the IPs will result in royalties for researchers who hold the patent.

MIMOS’ effort to drive IP creation is hoped to result in an explosion of innovation and invention in frontier technologies. This inspiration is in line with the Government’s aim to drive the country to new  heights with science and technology innovation.
