This division played the major role in the Administered Patents Act 1983, Trademarks Act 1976 and Copyright Act 1987 in Malaysia. The division implemented some new laws such as the Industrial Designs Act 1996, the Integrated Circuits Layout-Design Act 2000 in 1999 and the Geographical Indications Act 2000 came into force in 2001.

The MyIPO company not only protects the brands, logos, promotional materials, confidential information, confidential know-how, processes and store layout of the franchise, but will also play a role in court when an action is brought against "copies". MyIPO provides license for franchise business where the franchisor can operate the franchise business because it is the major move in growing the business, brand and reputation of the franchisor compared to non-franchise businesses. Furthermore, franchisors must provide training and commercial assistance to their franchisees. This helps ensure that all "branches" of franchisor businesses present a uniform business to the public. It also helps consumers meet their market expectations whenever they deal with a franchise.
