Questions?
Is Hong Kong first-to-file or first-to-use?
As per Trade Marks Ordinance (Cap. 559) (5.1.a), Hong Kong is a first-to-file jurisdiction except where a mark is well known (5.1.b), in accordance with section 3.b. of the Paris Convention. Sometimes, unregistered trademarks can also be protected under the “law of passing off”. See below for more details.
How long is a Hong Kong trade mark valid for?
Trademarks registered in Hong Kong must be renewed every ten years.
Does obtaining a trade mark in Hong Kong trade confer protection in China as well?
Definitely not. You must register a trademark in China separately to receive protection there. This is highly recommended and must be done way in advance of product launch if you ever plan to do business in China.
If I have an unregistered trade mark in Hong Kong, how can I protect myself against someone trying to register my trade mark?
Although Hong Kong is a “first-to-file” jurisdiction, it does allow some leeway for first-to-use cases. In addition to the concessions granted for “well-known” marks as per the Paris convention, other unregistered marks might be able to be protected if the owner of the unregistered mark can prove: Goodwill in the unregistered trademark Misrepresentation caused by the other party’s mark (confusion amongst consumers) Damages incurred to the goodwill or business of the unregistered trademark owner
What if I register a trade mark “to be safe” but don’t use it for some time?
If a trademark remains unused for a continuous period of three years in Hong Kong it might be open to being revoked if a third party challenges its validity. As with all matters of trademark law, this is not as black and white as it sounds, and there are exceptions to the statement of “non-use”. Please always check these matters of law with an expert.
What will happen to Hong Kong trade marks after 2047, when the “one country, two systems” policy comes to an end?
We, along with the rest of the world and local residents of Hong Kong, wish we knew the answer. Either way, it is currently necessary to register a trademark in Mainland China in addition to Hong Kong if you wish for the mark to be protected in both jurisdictions.
