Regional IP protection event hosted by HK Customs promotes Asian exchanges

"Hong Kong Customs will gain a better understanding of the market information on the mainland's IP industry, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of combating cross-border infringement," Woo said.

Hong Kong, the mainland and Macao can help enterprises and brand owners to deepen mutual understanding of each other's trademark registration system and filing procedures and share information on IP recordation and protection.

Looking ahead, Ho told the meeting, Hong Kong Customs together with law enforcement agencies and industry stakeholders from different regions will continue to work closely and exchange information to enhance the effectiveness in combating IP infringement crimes.
