harm in reminding them of the possibility.
12. As for the contractual solution suggested by Mrs Sullivan in para 9 of her letter, Mr Mungat says that this idea was not his and he has some doubts about whether it would provide adequate protecton. Moreover, neither he nor I are in a position to judge the practical implications of proceeding in this way. Nevertheless, HKG may wish to consider this as temporary stop-gap measure if legislation cannot be enacted within the required timescale. I suggest you put it to HKG, but make clear that the suggestion originates from the Patent Office, and we are unclear as to its workability.
13. If you require any further explanation of the above, please let me know. Please also clear your revised draft letter with Mr Mangat, Mrs Sullivan and me.
