Intellectual Property

Author: Douglas Clark

As the Hong Kong government continues its commitment to making intellectual property protection better than any other economy in the world, the third edition of Intellectual Property in Hong Kong is the go-to tool for practitioners, academics, students and interested persons to stay on top of the latest developments in Hong Kong intellectual property law and issues.

Butterworths Hong Kong Patent Law Handbook – Fourth Edition includes important, new patent cases decided between 2019 and 2022 by the English courts and the courts of other common law jurisdictions such as Australia.  

Importantly, it also takes into account the Hong Kong Patents Examination Guidelines (PEG) published by the Hong Kong Intellectual Property Department in 2020. Although PEG is not binding, it is the most important and practical reference that patent attorneys actually rely on. 

The fourth edition further incorporates patent examination guidelines (as well as important case law considered by the guidelines) published by the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), Australia, Mainland China, New Zealand, Singapore and the United Kingdom.
