This edition updates the contents of the first edition in the light of legislative amendments and many reported court decisions since then. Dr Tay joined the University of Malaya in 1992 to pursue a postgraduate degree and teach at the same time. It was then that she became involved in intellectual property law and has since been drawn into that area.

She was the Director of the Centre for Law and Ethics in Science and Technology, which is a research centre at the Faculty of Law, University of Malaya from April 2018 to August 2020.
