The 15th Meeting of the Guangdong-Hong Kong Expert Group on Protection of Intellectual Property Rights was held in Guangzhou today, with participants agreeing to further strengthen co-operation.
Director of Intellectual Property Ada Leung said the group’s co-operation items will increase to 24, including strengthening the co-operation on intellectual property trading of the two places and among high-end service agencies in the Guangdong Free Trade Zone.
The group's co-operation projects for 2016-17 also include improving the mechanism of intellectual property co-operation items and guidance services, reinforcing work on cross-boundary protection of intellectual property, and organising publicity activities.
They will also promote intellectual property trading, and exchange and deliberation on intellectual property in both places.
The two sides reviewed the co-operative projects completed in the past year, and noted law enforcement agencies in both places have continued to combat cross-boundary infringement through intelligence exchange and joint operations.
