KUALA
LUMPUR, April 5 (Bernama) — The world’s
first-of-its-kind Halal Intellectual Property (IP) Bank initiated by the Halal
Industry Development Corp (HDC) has been formed to store all registered and
licensed halal intellectual properties and ideas.
IP Bank
was the key innovative outcome at the two-day World Halal Research Summit 2012
which ended today. International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mustapa
Mohamed said these intellectual properties referred to innovations and
innovative ideas that have commercialisation potential and have been
transformed into halal prototypes for global halal markets.
“HDC
will manage all innovations retained with the IP Bank as this is the platform
towards consolidating prototypes that are ready for commercialisation,” he told
reporters after the closing ceremony today.
In
support of innovations, HDC also organised a WHR Innovation Exhibition in
collaboration with Agensi Inovasi Malaysia for purposes of showcasing the
product prototypes for the halal industry at the summit.
The
exhibition which focussed on 37 product prototypes, identified for
commercialisation and ready to be pitched to the business, investors and
entrepreneurial sectors, will be reposited in the IP Bank and can be viewed at
the HDC web portals.
