A recently published WIPO IP Advantage Story features MyB Innovation, a Malaysian university spin-off company specializing in prosthetic limbs. The story spotlights, Prof. Dr. Mohd Yazid Bajuri, the inventor of below-the-knee dynamic prosthesis and his company's inspiring journey of enhancing mobility and quality of life of lower-limb amputees.
With the goal of expanding globally to reach more patients and offer affordable prosthetics care, MyB Innovation's participation as one of the beneficiaries of the ongoing ASEAN Patent Analytics Project has helped the company understand the IP landscape in the field of transtibial prosthetics and identify market opportunities through patent data.
The WIPO Patent Analytics Project is an ongoing regional initiative launched in 2025 to support ASEAN companies of varying sizes and operating across diverse sectors in using patent analytics for technology and business insights. Through the project, WIPO aims to showcase the application and value of patent analytics for innovative companies and support the wider adoption of patent analytics at the enterprise level in the ASEAN region.
