We are pleased to announce that Shearn Delamore & Co. has been ranked as a Gold Tier Firm in Patent Litigation and Recommended Firm in Patent Prosecution for Malaysia by IAM Patent 1000 2021.
Review of our Firm/Partners by IAM Patent 1000
Topping the patent litigation table, Shearn Delamore & Co has the wherewithal to establish, monetise and safeguard patent portfolios with alacrity. ‘A leading IP firm’, it boasts a cradle-to-grave IP offering, including a large and extensive patent prosecution practice staffed by an extensive IP team, and is known for attracting top pharmaceutical companies to its doors.
“Ever ready to provide bespoke advice to a range of Asian clients seeking global IP protection”, Timothy Siaw straddles the contentious and non-contentious divide effortlessly by drawing upon nearly 30 years of experience.
Making his debut in the IAM Patent 1000 this year, Indran Shanmuganathan is the person to call for complex patent litigation matters. Not only is he “bright, articulate, flexible and highly knowledgeable in Malaysian law”, the silver-tongued sharpshooter is “experienced and well-known for IP litigation”. A familiar face in local courts, he often acts on behalf of Malaysian entities such as Asia File Products Sdn Bhd and Sinowaja.
For companies in the healthcare and life sciences industries, dual-qualified biochemist and lawyer Zaraihan Shaari is someone you want on speed dial. A foreign associate cannot help but sing her praises: “I really appreciate Zaraihan’s work and the final report she provides, which is comprehensive, detailed and pretty suggestive.”
Responsive and experts in their field, Zaraihan and her team played a very important part of a global strategic piece for a major international client. Shaari recently teamed up with Shanmuganathan in a landmark patent infringement case for Merck Sharp and Dohme Corp against Hovid Bhd — the first time that the Federal Court overruled its own decision for an IP case.
Michelle Loi is another “competent litigator who is growing in court experience”.
