Twenty-four students and three schools have won prizes in the Inter-school Promotion of Respect for Intellectual Property Rights Slogan Competition.

It ran from September to October and attracted 2,600 entries from 250 schools.

Officiating at the presentation ceremony, Director of Intellectual Property Stephen Selby said the competition has stimulated young people to think about the importance of intellectual property protection through doing something creative themselves.

Intellectual Property Society Chairman Selina Chow said: "Creative work consumes tremendous time and effort. We should respect other's creative efforts and make full use of our own creativity. I hope that all students will work together on the mission to uphold intellectual property rights."
