A key focus of the NAP was industrial research and development to promote the leadership of Malaysian automotive companies in the region. Consequently, the alignment of university-industry research with the NAP is critical in fostering innovation and advancement in automotive technology. This study employs patent analysis to investigate the university-industry research and development of automotive technology in Malaysia. The objective is to identify patent trends in automotive technology developed by university-industry, which can provide crucial insight for researchers and inventors to incorporate the latest patented technology and support future inventions.
