Thank You 香港特區與內地在很多方面的關係越來越密切，在保護知識產權方面，香港可以借助其高度開放和國際化的優勢，協助內地企業走向世界，成為對外經濟合作的中介和平台。 香港律師和知識產權代理人熟悉國際市場運作、並累積多年的國際經驗，了解到世界各地不同的知識產權註冊和法律制度，也能熟練運用英語。 在世界各地申請註冊，管理知識產權及執行知識產權的有關權益，要對多方面有關的法律，商業運作，財務及國際貿易有深入的認識。目前香港知識產權代理機構可利用它們在法律、語言和人脉關係等方面的優勢，充當國際橋樑的角色；一方面，幫助外國和香港客戶在中國內地和香港本地註冊商標、申請專利、保護版權；另外一方面，可以幫助內地客戶在香港或外國註冊商標，登記專利，以及解決其他與知識產權有關的問題，比如在技術轉移和特許合同的磋商和執行必須考慮的訴訟，仲裁及調解的安排和問題。 Intellectual Property Department, Hong Kong SAR Government
