MIMOS' TIE-UP WITH MINDTECK TO GLOBALISE IP PORTFOLIO

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 21 (Bernama) -- MIMOS Bhd's collaboration with Mindteck (India) Ltd, a leading Indian Technology and IT solutions provider, will enhance and globalise MIMOS' Intellectual Property (IP) portfolio, says Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Dr Maximus Ongkili.
It would also strengthen Mindteck's position in the market place, he said.
MIMOS, the applied research centre in frontier technologies under the ministry, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Mindteck which will adopt and market its IT solutions, the Enterprise Knowledge Management System (eKMS).
Based on the 2010 World Intelligent Property Organisation, Malaysia had moved up to 25th position from 30th in IPs filed.
"For IPs filed by the government, MIMOS' contributions have increased from 41 per cent in 2009 to 49 per cent last year," he said at the MoU signing ceremony in Bangalore Monday.
From 2004 till 2010, MIMOS had filed 489 patents in Malaysia aside from 280 international patents filed since 2008.
With the MoU, the public-listed global technology company will customise MIMOS' eKMS mainly for the life sciences industry and market it globally.
The e-KMS is the first MIMOS-developed IT technology to be taken up by an Indian IT company.
