"KASS International is an outstanding company among all the ones that we have dealt with. The people are efficient, fast in response, systematic and reasonable in their charges," comments a client. The firm retains its place in the prosecution rankings this year on the back of high-quality work for its many clients such as Merck & Co and local interests such as Universiti Putra Malaysia and Universiti Sains Malaysia.
Clients recommend managing director P Kandiah, with one commenting: "I hold him in high regard. He and his staff offer valuable advice." The IP team is renowned for its patent expertise, with a client confiding: "We only use this firm in Malaysia, as others are not as familiar with the technology."
A notable trade mark case in the past year was the firm's representation of a local food and beverage company in a trade mark expungement and passing off case, which involved a well-known brand in Malaysia and a multimillion dollar business.
