EXPERIENCE
Joey holds an Honours Degree in chemical engineering from Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR). Since young, Joey has always been fascinated by the world of science and technology. Her exceptional logical thinking and mathematics skills lead her to pursue engineering in her tertiary education. Upon graduation, she successfully registered herself as a Graduate Engineer. Joey also has a great natural aptitude for languages with excellent grades in the Malaysian University English Test (MUET) and the Advanced English 1119 (Cambridge O Level 1119). Apart from performing well in her academics, Joey was also very active in co-curricular activities, such as organizing programme flow and acting as an emcee, which also earned her the Platinum grade in the UTAR Soft Skills Development Certificate Programme (USSDC).
At NBS Intellectual Sdn Bhd, she is responsible in performing patent novelty search for proposed new inventions, drafting patent specifications, managing patent portfolios, performing local, PCT and foreign filings by liaising with foreign agents. She also handles patent queries and responds to the examination report issued by IP Offices local and abroad. Joey also conducts other searches and analyses such as freedom-to-operate search, infringement analysis, landscape search, equivalent patent search and legal status research.
During her studies, Joey was exposed to law for engineers. She developed a strong interest in the legal sector and decided to find a way to incorporate legal knowledge in her engineering career. Thus, she embarked on the career path as a patent executive because the patent industry allows her to combine her interest in both technology and law, hence providing her career satisfaction. Joey hopes that she can gain more exposure in the patent industry and handle more interesting cases.
