INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND LOCALISATION OF HONG KONG'S PATENT

SYSTEM

1.

The Hong Kong Government (HKG) have undertaken to hand over to the Chinese side a consultation paper on the Localisation of Hong Kong's Patent System. I enclose a copy of the draft consultation paper which has been prepared by the HKG. I should be very grateful for your comments on the paper, if possible by COP on 10 December.

2. I should also like to take this opportunity to enquire whether you are yet in a position to reply to Rod Bunten's letter of 4 August concerning the Patent Cooperation Treaty. We still owe Hong Kong a substantive reply on this subject. As Rod Bunten has recently left this Department (his successor is Charles Garrett), it would probably best if you directed your reply to me.

Yours

sincerely

Annadele Boun.
