The Hong Kong Patent System

With the assistance of a small Working Group, I

am considering whether the present system of patent protection in Hong Kong ɛtill satisfies Hong Kong's needs and if any changes should be introduced.

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)

Whca registered in Hong Kong the patent can be enforced in the courts of lions Long" as thougn the patent nad been granted in the United Kingdon with an extension to hong Long".
