Intact Water Officially Obtains Two Industrial Design Registrations in Malaysia

Intact Water has officially obtained two Industrial Design Registrations from the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO), marking a significant milestone in the company's ongoing commitment to original product design and innovation in Malaysia's water filtration industry.

The two registrations, both issued under Malaysia's Industrial Designs Act 1996, cover the design of Intact Water's outdoor water filter products and represent formal, government-recognised protection of the company's unique design contributions to the market.

What Is an Industrial Design Registration?

For those unfamiliar with intellectual property in the context of product design, an Industrial Design Registration in Malaysia is an official form of protection granted by MyIPO (Perbadanan Harta Intelek Malaysia) for the visual appearance of a product. This includes the shape, form, configuration, or pattern of an article as it is produced industrially.

In simpler terms, when a company registers an industrial design, it is formally documenting with the government that the visual design of its product is original and belongs to them. This is separate from how a product works. It specifically protects how the product looks and is designed, giving the registered owner the exclusive right to use that design for their products during the registration period.

For consumers, an Industrial Design Registration is a meaningful signal. It reflects that a company has invested in creating something original enough to warrant formal intellectual property protection, rather than simply following existing product templates in the market.

Registration 1: Double Backwash and 360° Anti-Leak Design

Registration No. MY 23-00939-0101
Registered: 10 July 2023
Valid Until: 10 July 2028
Product: Outdoor Water Filter

The first registration covers the design of Intact Water's Double Backwash and 360° Anti-Leak system as applied to its outdoor water filter. This is the design that defines one of the most recognisable features across Intact Water's outdoor filter range, a backwash configuration built to address both cleaning efficiency and leak prevention in a single integrated design.

The 360° Anti-Leak Double Backwash has been a signature element of Intact Water's outdoor filter lineup, appearing across models including the Intact Compact, One Clean series, and One Touch series. With this registration, the design is formally recognised as Intact Water's original intellectual property under Malaysian law.

Registration 2: Product Body Design

Registration No. MY 23-00940-0101
Registered: 10 July 2023
Valid Until: 10 July 2028
Product: Outdoor Water Filter

The second registration covers the overall body design of Intact Water's outdoor water filter unit. This encompasses the physical form and visual appearance of the product casing as a whole, reflecting the design language that Intact Water has developed for its outdoor filter products.

Protecting the product body design ensures that the aesthetic identity of Intact Water's outdoor water filter, from its shape and proportions to its overall visual character, is formally documented as original design work belonging to the company.

Both certificates were issued on 14 May 2026 by Yusnieza Syarmila Binti Yusoff, Registrar of Industrial Designs Malaysia, and are valid for the registered owner, Intact Water Sdn. Bhd., at its principal address in Johor Bahru, Johor.

What This Means for Intact Water Customers

For households and property owners considering an outdoor water filter in Malaysia, these registrations offer an additional layer of confidence when choosing Intact Water. They confirm that the design of the product you are buying is not a generic adaptation of existing designs in the market. It is an original design that Intact Water has developed, refined, and formally protected through Malaysia's intellectual property system.

This also means that the 360° Anti-Leak Double Backwash technology, which is featured prominently across the outdoor filter range, is not simply a marketing description. It is a formally registered design, backed by documentation from Malaysia's national intellectual property authority.

A Reflection of Intact Water's Commitment to Innovation

Since 2006, Intact Water has grown from a single branch in Johor Bahru into a nationwide water filtration brand with multiple showrooms across Malaysia. Throughout that growth, the company has consistently reinvested in research, product development, and improvement of both the performance and design of its water filtration systems.

Obtaining these two Industrial Design Registrations is a natural extension of that approach. It reflects a company that treats its product design with the same seriousness it brings to filtration performance, user experience, and after-sales support. Innovation at Intact Water is not limited to what happens inside the filter. It extends to the design of the product itself.

For anyone exploring outdoor water filter options in Malaysia, Intact Water's registered designs are one more reason to look closely at what the brand brings to the table beyond price and specification alone.
