    Filing in Hong Kong

    Why filing in Hong Kong is different.

    The rules that change how we search, draft and file for you. We handle every one of them.

    1

    Hong Kong is a separate trademark jurisdiction

    A CNIPA registration covers mainland China only. Hong Kong has its own register, its own examiners, and its own opposition system. Brands serious about the Hong Kong market need a separate Hong Kong filing.

    2

    Hong Kong is not a Madrid Protocol member

    You cannot designate Hong Kong through a Madrid international application. The only route is a direct national filing with the IPD.

    3

    First-to-file with strict examination

    Hong Kong operates first-to-file under the Trade Marks Ordinance. Examination is rigorous in both English and Traditional Chinese.

    4

    Strong enforcement and customs basis

    A registered Hong Kong trade mark supports Hong Kong Customs detention of counterfeits at one of the world's busiest container ports.

    Your attorney runs the check, the drafting and every letter from the Hong Kong IPD with you, from the first search to the certificate and the renewal ten years on.

    Before you file

    Why Hong Kong applications get refused, and how the free check helps.

    Conflict with an earlier Hong Kong mark (Section 12)

    about 28%

    An earlier identical or similar Hong Kong registration covers the same or similar goods. A pre-filing IPD clearance search catches this before you spend HKD 2,152.92.

    Lack of distinctiveness (Section 11(1)(b))

    about 24%

    The mark is generic, descriptive, or laudatory in English or Traditional Chinese. Counsel argues acquired distinctiveness or refines the specification.

    Descriptive or geographic terms

    about 14%

    The mark describes a kind, quality, intended purpose, or geographical origin. Examined strictly in both official Hong Kong languages.

    Public-policy or prohibited-sign refusals

    about 8%

    Includes marks contrary to public policy, deceptive marks, and protected official insignia. We screen for these at intake.

    Hong Kong trademark questions, answered straight

    What founders ask before filing in Hong Kong

    No. Hong Kong is a separate trademark jurisdiction with its own Trade Marks Ordinance (Cap. 559) and its own register at the Hong Kong IPD. A CNIPA registration grants no rights in Hong Kong.
