There is a crying need
in Hongkong for a registry of commér- cial designs, according to local businessmen and industrialists.

At present, designs of products cannot be regis- tered locally, but have to be sent to England. However, it was learned from à high Government
source, that the matter is under considera- tion. "Discussions have taken place regard-· ing the setting up of a designs registry, but. we have received no instructions yet for drawing up a draft legislation," the source said.
(Designs of products are not to be confused with trade marks. A design' is described as 1 drawing or sketch a plan in outline whereas a trade mark is defined as a name or distinctive device warranting goods for sale as the production of any individual or firm).
