Trademarks are an important part of business – they signify that the intellectual properties that belong to your company are yours alone. While many businesses trademark their names to distinguish themselves from others, many other things can be trademarked, including designs, goods, packaging, signs, and much more. All in all, they are an extremely useful tool for any business to have under their belt – which is why you should seriously consider registering a trademark on those core aspects of your business or service.

How to Register a Trademark in Hong Kong
In order to benefit from having a registered trademark in Hong Kong you need to register it with the Intellectual Property Department of the Hong Kong government.
You can make this application online if you wish. Or you can go to the Department and register it in person.
You can only register a trademark if you already own and use the trademark or if you clearly intend to use the trademark. If you don’t use the trademark for at least three years in a row then the Department may choose to revoke the trademark on the grounds of non-use.
After you file the application it will be reviewed by the Trade Marks Registry to ensure that it complies with the Hong Kong law. They also need to check that you aren’t trying to register a trademark that is already owned by someone else in the same category of goods or services as the trademark you are filing.
If the trademark is rejected by the Department, such as in the case it does conflict with an existing trademark, then you have a few options. You can appeal the decision to try and force your trademark through, alter the trademark and file for a different one, or have the objection subject to a hearing that may overrule it.
If your trademark is accepted then it is published in the Hong Kong Intellectual Property Journal. This doesn’t mean that the process is complete however. There is a grace period where a third party can object to your trademark. They can object on a few grounds including having a trademark of their own that is similar to yours. In the event that the trademark is disputed everything is overseen by a hearing officer.
If you make it past this phase then the trademark is officially registered and you are issued with a Certificate of Registration for that trademark.
