The present system
2.
The present Hong Kong system has the following characteristics:
(1) The Hong Kong Patent Registry does not grant
patents.
(2)
Instead the holder of a patent granted by the United Kingdom Patent Office, or a patent granted by the European Patent Office and designating the United Kingdom (known as -- a European Patent (UK)), may register that patent in Hong Kong.
(3) Only those two kinds of patents may be
registered here.
(4)
