PSM is seeing red over a legal warning made by a Khazanah Nasional subsidiary against manufacturers of Tongkat Ali products.
Meanwhile, the patent on Tongkat Ali is co-owned by the Energy, Science, Technology, Environment, and Climate Change Ministry and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . It covers water extracts from Tongkat Ali for new scientific use and products. According to the notice, any producer and seller of Tongkat Ali products which do not have permission from the ministry, MIT and Biotropics will be violating patent laws and can be fined up to RM15,000 or jailed up to two years.
"This is clearly another case of 'fencing up the commons' using in this instance, Malaysian patent laws," he said.
