Koh Dipendra Jeremiah Law (KDJLaw) has appointed a partner and an enforcement consultant to its IP and technology practice group in Malaysia.
Guna Selan Marian joins the firm as an enforcement consultant, with experience in enforcement involving IP rights, anti-profiteering, price control, investigation and prosecution of IP offences.
He has represented Malaysia in various IP meetings in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations region and has held several key positions at state and federal level in the country.
