| China, Hong Kong Sign Their First IP Agreement |
by Mary Swire, LawAndTax-News.com, Hong Kong
Thursday, November 17, 2011
China’s State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) and Hong Kong’s
Intellectual Property Department (IPD) signed their first agreement in Hong
Kong on November 16 to strengthen co-operation in the area of intellectual property
(IP).
By attaching a greater importance to IP, it is intended that the agreement
will strengthen co-operation between mainland China and Hong Kong, with a view to working
together to promote innovation and economic growth.
Areas of IP co-operation covered in the agreement include exchanging of information
on laws, publicity and education activities, as well as automation services;
providing staff training by the SIPO upon the IPD's request; promoting IP trading
to facilitate the restructuring and upgrading of enterprises; and co-organizing
exhibitions, seminars, technical exchanges and conferences.
The agreement, the first joint deal signed by the SIPO and the IPD, is said
to mark a milestone in co-operation between the two places. Building upon the
close co-operation already existing between the two institutions, the agreement
is the fruit of the rapport and consensus achieved through exchanges in the
past.
