It publishes its own software too. > Registered with the Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM) as a sole > proprietorship on 14 September 2026. The name is Kelantanese Malay. "Dok tahu" means "don't know", and that origin is declared on the SSM filing because Malaysian business-name rules require an invented name to state its meaning. The mark is an owl, inverted: an owl is the symbol of knowing, and this one starts from not knowing and goes to find out. ## Facts - Legal name: DOKTAHOO TECHNOLOGY - Brand name: Doktahoo - Also written: Doktahoo Technology.
