✨ Adastra IP was truly honoured to receive an invitation to attend the Majlis Anugerah Harta Intelek Negara 2026 (National Intellectual Property Award 2026) 🏆🇲🇾

It was inspiring to see innovators, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders recognised for their efforts in strengthening Malaysia’s IP ecosystem and innovation landscape.

Occasions like this reflect a growing recognition that intellectual property is no longer a secondary legal consideration — it is an increasingly valuable business asset. And without strong IP protection, innovation cannot thrive with confidence. ⚖️

Our Managing Director, Datuk Mohan Kodivel and Director of Patents, Suriyia Sadanathan were delighted to represent Adastra IP, connecting with fellow stakeholders within the IP community. 🤝

Our sincere thanks to the KPDN Kuala Lumpur (Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living) and the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO) for the invitation and for organising a meaningful event that continues to elevate the importance of IP in Malaysia.

While the ballroom was predominantly filled with professionals in the property surveying industry, it's heartening to see that increased importance on Intangibles and Intellectual Property rights have been placed by RISM by allocating an award for the category of Intangible Asset Valuation Surveyor of the Year.
