Consultation

6

(t) To register Petty Patents of other

countries and thereupon grant rights in

Hong Kong. This follows the way United

Kingdom patents are registered in Hong

Kong now;

(c)

To introduce a system of protection for

inventions during the application stage.

4.

welcome your views on :

(2)

patents granted elsewhere, as opposed to a

system of granting patents, should continue;

whether the present system of registering

only UK patents and European patents (UK)

should be widened to include, or be replaced

o tur pati b by, the registration of European patents

เ

designating any of the member states of the

European Patent Convention;
