Hong Kong’s unique role in IP creation, protection and enforcement as well as dispute resolution in GBA and beyond
(Co-organised with Department of Justice, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region)
With the rise of IP creation in Asia and China surpassing US as the biggest user of the WIPO’s Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) System, Asia has become the new front for IP protection and as a matter of course, a battleground of IP disputes. The Belt and Road Initiative and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) development will create wide-ranging opportunities for all companies that work with Hong Kong in IP trading and business investment. IP disputes can also be complex, involving technical matters and multiple jurisdictions. The COVID-19 outbreak calls for innovative approach on dispute resolution. Innovative options and advances in technology offer flexibility for parties to control over the dispute resolution process to better meet their expectation.
The session will explore how Hong Kong will capitalize on its geographical, institutional and expertise advantages in creating a solid foundation for IP businesses in GBA and beyond to pursue outbound opportunities, as well as innovative dispute resolution such as online dispute resolution.
