Minute by the Attorney General.
Hon. Colonial Secretary.
There are no local Law or Regulations in
force in this Colony regarding the protection of Copyright. The Law governing the matter is that contained in the Impe-
rial Acts so far as they extend to the Colonies generally. By virtue of Section 9 of The International
Copyright Act 1886 (49 & 50 Vict.C 33) that Act and the In- ternational Copyright Acts (therein specified) apply to Hong-Kong as if it were part of the United Kingdom.
