Hong Kong Publishes Patent System Review Report
 

On 7 February 2013, the Report of the Advisory Committee on Review of the Patent System in Hong Kong was published. The report reviews the comments from the public in response to a consultation paper issued in October 2011 and makes recommendations regarding the future development of HK's patent system.
 
HK currently issues two types of patents, standard patent and short-term patent. The standard patent offers protection for a maximum of 20 years under a re-registration system, registering a patent granted by one of the three designated patent offices - the State Intellectual Property Office of China (SIPO), the UK Patent Office, and the European Patent Office (for European patents designating the UK). The short-term patent is valid for a maximum of eight years, offering protection for products with a shorter commercial life cycle. 
 
Aimed at upgrading HK’s patent system to meet present-day circumstances and facilitate its development into an innovation and technology hub, the advisory committee proposes the following key strategic moves: 
Subject to the government’s decision on the directions forward, the advisory committee will proceed with the next phase of the review to further explore the detailed implementation issues.
