Please advise this Committee of the details of the activities, and the expenditure and manpower required. How effective are such efforts in recent years? Will the promotion work be stepped up? Asked by: Hon CHUNG Kwok-pan (Member Question No. 31) Reply: For 2016-17, the Intellectual Property Department (IPD) has earmarked about $6.8 million (of which $5 million came from the allocation set aside by the Bureau for promoting Hong Kong as an intellectual property (IP) trading hub in the region) for IP promotion and education targeted at the business sector (including small and medium enterprises (SMEs), business associations, IP intermediaries, etc.) SMEs remain a prime target of our promotion and education efforts. Through activities such as seminars and exhibitions organised by IPD or in collaboration with other organisations, we will continue to help SMEs understand the importance of protecting their IP rights and to raise awareness of innovation and IP management among them. Moreover, to tie in with the promotion of Hong Kong as a premier IP trading hub in the region, we will assist SMEs to enhance their competitiveness through IP management and IP commercialisation, so as to make use of the opportunities brought by IP trading. In 2016-17, the programmes that IPD will carry out in Hong Kong include: (i) continuing to implement the “IP Manager Scheme”, providing training courses and relevant information for “IP managers”. From April 2016, IPD also plans to organise “Practical Workshops for IP Managers” regularly in order to encourage and assist IP managers to effectively protect and manage IP assets in their enterprises, and to integrate IP commercialisation and IP trading into their overall business strategy; (ii) continuing to implement the pilot scheme on free IP consultation service in collaboration with the IP Committee of the Law Society of Hong Kong to provide face-to-face consultation service for SMEs, with a view to enhancing SMEs’ understanding of IP and assisting them in developing effective IP management and commercialisation strategies. Drawing on experience, IPD is discussing with the Law Society with a view to implementing the service later this year as a formal and long-term programme; (iii) working with legal practitioners with expertise in IP transactions to compile and publish a checklist containing basic practical guidelines on two areas, namely “IP audit” (management for day-to-day business) and “IP due diligence” (due diligence for IP transactions), which is expected to be made available later this year; (iv) continuing to update and enrich the content of the dedicated website "Hong Kong - The IP Trading Hub" (www.ip.gov.hk) in order to facilitate local SMEs and other stakeholders in obtaining the latest information on IP trading; (v) continuing to co-organise the “Business of IP Asia Forum” with the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and the Hong Kong Design Centre; (vi) participating actively in major exhibitions and seminars for SMEs held in Hong Kong, such as the “Entrepreneur Day”, “Hong Kong International Licensing Show”, and exhibition held in parallel with the “Business of IP Asia Forum”; (vii) co-organising promotion activities, such as seminars and exchange activities, with various business associations, to brief SMEs on the latest information on IP rights as well as issues on the protection and management of IP rights, and distributing relevant booklets at these events; (viii) continuing to sponsor and promote training courses on IP related subjects organised by professional bodies as well as business organisations, so as to foster the development of IP-related services in the industry and to nurture talent; and (ix) continuing to promote IP trading and introduce support services relating to IP trading through different channels, including newspapers, websites, exhibitions, seminars and business associations. To help the business sector (including SMEs, business associations, IP intermediaries, etc.) strengthen protection and management of their IP rights in the Mainland, IPD maintains close co-operation with the Mainland authorities responsible for IP protection. In 2016-17, IPD will organise the following activities: (i) continuing to co-organise the “Mainland, Hong Kong SAR and Macao SAR Intellectual Property Symposium” with the State Intellectual Property Office and the Macao Economic Services of the Macao SAR Government to keep the business sector abreast of the latest development of IP protection in the three places; and (ii) continuing to co-organise activities with the IP authorities of the Guangdong Province under the framework of the “Guangdong/Hong Kong Expert Group on the Protection of Intellectual Property Rights” to promote and publicise the importance of IP protection and management as well as the concept of IP trading. These activities will include organising thematic seminars, and updating and enriching the content of the “Intellectual Property Database for Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao” (www.ip-prd.net) as well as the “Guangdong/Hong Kong IP Co-operation Corner”, “Mainland Enterprises Corner” and “Mainland and Hong Kong Trademark Column” on IPD’s website (www.ipd.gov.hk), with a view to providing the business sector with information about IP protection, management and trading in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, including laws and regulations, registration procedures, law enforcement, and promotion and education activities. IPD will also continue to organise thematic exchange activities to enable the business sector to establish contact with the IP authorities and business sector in the Mainland, with a view to enhancing the understanding of IP management and trading in the two places and fostering mutual co-operation on IP trading. As for manpower resources, the implementation of the above measures is mainly supported by the Marketing Division of IPD. The Division currently comprises 10 staff members who are responsible for different areas of work on IP promotion and education as well as promotion of IP trading. Regarding the effectiveness of the above work, apart from maintaining continuous liaison with the business sector and stakeholders, IPD collects feedback from participants of the relevant promotion and education activities to evaluate the effectiveness of these activities and draw up appropriate promotion strategies and programme plans. In 2015-16, IPD participated in 4 exhibitions; the seminars, public lectures, workshops, exchange activities, training programmes and consultation services organised by IPD attracted about 2 000 participants and were well received. - End - Examination of Estimates of Expenditure 2016-17 Reply Serial No. CEDB(CIT)273 CONTROLLING OFFICER’S REPLY (Question Serial No. 2790) Head: (78) Intellectual Property Department Subhead (No. & title): ( ) Programme: (2) Protection of Intellectual Property Controlling Officer: Director of Intellectual Property (LEUNG Ka-lai, Ada) Director of

  • The Portrayal of Female Officials in Hong Kong Newspapers
    Constructing perfect women: the portrayal of female officials in Hong Kong newspapers Francis L.F. Lee CITY UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG, HONG KONG On 28 February 2000, the Hong Kong government announced its newest round of reshuffling and promotion of top-level officials. The next day, Apple Daily, one of the most popular Chinese newspapers in Hong Kong, headlined their full front-page coverage: ‘Eight Beauties Obtain Power in Newest Top Official Reshuffling: One-third Females in Leadership, Rarely Seen Internationally’.1 On 17 April, the Daily cited a report by regional magazine Asiaweek which claimed that ‘Hong Kong’s number of female top officials [is the] highest in the world’. The article states that: ‘Though Hong Kong does not have policies privileging women, opportunities for women are not worse than those for men.’ Using the prominence of female officials as evidence for gender equality is common in public discourse in Hong Kong. To give another instance, Sophie Leung, Chair of the government’s Commission for Women’s Affairs, said in an interview that women in Hong Kong have space for development, and she was quoted: ‘You see, Hong Kong female officials are so powerful!’ (Ming Pao, 5 February 2001). This article attempts to examine news discourses about female officials in Hong Kong. Undoubtedly, the discourses are complicated and not completely coherent. Just from the examples mentioned, one could see that the media embrace the relatively high ratio of female officials as a sign of social progress. But one may also question the validity of treating the ratio of female officials as representative of the situation of gender (in)equality in the society.

  • The Fourth Wave? a Critical Reflection on the Tongzhi Movement in Hong Kong
    13 The fourth wave? A critical reflection on the tongzhi movement in Hong Kong Travis S.K. Kong, Sky H.L. Lau, and Eva C.Y. Li Introduction In this chapter, we take a close look at the tongzhi movement in Hong Kong. Tongzhi, which literally means ‘common will’, is an adaptation of the Chinese term ‘comrade’. The term has been widely used in the context of political parties in both the Republican period and the People’s Republic of China. It has been re-appropriated as a synonym for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (or LGBT) in Hong Kong and has become very popular for LGBT self-identification in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China since the 1990s (Kong 2011: 14). As a former British colony, Hong Kong’s tongzhi movement has its own distinctive path different from Taiwan or China due to its colonial governance, religious influences, and the adaptation of Chinese families in such an environment. To date, there are many defining moments of tongzhi history in Hong Kong that are worthy of note. These include the initial criminalisation of ‘buggery’ (a generic term that includes male sodomy) in 1842 when the British took over Hong Kong; the apparent suicide of police inspector John MacLennan in 1980 that triggered the subsequent 10 years of public and legal debate over whether male homosexual conduct should be decriminalised; the arrival of AIDS in 1984 along with its alleged association with gay men; the decriminalisation of male homosexual conduct in 1991; the mushrooming of tongzhi organisations and the emergence of a substantial tongzhi consumption infrastructure, including bars, clubs, saunas, massage parlours, cafes, and bookshops since the 1990s; the equalisation of age of consent (from the age of 21 to the age of 16, as for heterosexuals) in 2005; International Day against Homophobia (IDAHO) marches since 2005; pride parades since 2008, and the inclusion of same-sex partners in a domestic violence ordinance in 2009.
