Final Year Project to Intellectual Property

The Faculty of Chemical Engineering (FKK), Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) organised an intellectual property awareness program entitled From FYP to IP: Strategies to Secure Your Intellectual Property on 21^st August 2025. The half-day event, held at UiTM Shah Alam, attracted wide participation from students and researchers who eager to transform their academic work into protected intellectual property.

The initiative reflects FKK’s strong commitment to fostering a culture of innovation and research commercialisation. By equipping participants with the knowledge and tools to secure their intellectual assets, the program strengthens UiTM’s position as a leading institution in advancing Malaysia’s innovation ecosystem.

Dr. Muhamad Helmi Muhamad Khair, Deputy Director of the Legal and Intellectual Property Management Division of BITCOM UiTM Shah Alam, served as the speaker. He guided participants through key topics including an introduction to intellectual property, the procedures and ecosystem for IP management at UiTM, and a detailed step-by-step demonstration of copyright applications through the PRIME system.

During the hands-on segment, participants were also supported in completing their copyright applications, ensuring immediate practical benefit from the training. By bridging the gap between academic projects and intellectual property

protection, this program accentuates UiTM’s commitment to nurturing innovation and safeguarding research outputs.

Through this program, FKK demonstrates how early exposure to intellectual property strategies empowers

young researchers, enhances their competitive edge, and positions the university as a driver of innovation on both national and international stages. This initiative reflects FKK’s vision of transforming final-year projects and research outputs into globally recognised intellectual assets.

For updates on upcoming programs, the Faculty of Chemical Engineering invites researchers, students, and collaborators to engage with its continuous efforts in research, innovation, and industrial networking.
