Hong Kong Intellectual Property Lawyer At ONC Lawyers

The Intellectual Property Department at ONC Lawyers assists clients in the registration, exploitation and protection of their intellectual property rights in copyright, trade marks, patents, registered designs, rights in confidential information and other related legal rights.

Registration

The Hong Kong intellectual property lawyers give advice on registration strategy, registrability and likely outcome and will assist clients to handle objections from the registration authorities or other third parties. Their service covers both local and international registration.

Exploitation

The Hong Kong intellectual property attorneys advise on and prepare intellectual property exploitation agreements including: assignment of intellectual property rights; registered user agreement; licence agreement; author and publisher agreement and software development agreement.

Protection

At ONC Lawyers, the Hong Kong intellectual property lawyers have substantial experience in handling infringement litigation both for Plaintiffs or Defendants. Their team has the capability of acting swiftly to make applications for urgent injunction and search order for Plaintiffs so as to stop infringement activities effectively and preserve evidence for claims of damages. Likewise, in acting for Defendants, the Hong Kong intellectual property lawyers will act vigilantly to ensure that their rights are fully protected and that damages payable to the Plaintiffs will be kept to a minimum.

Company Name Squatting

The problem of registration of third party’s trade mark as company name by squatters has been rampant in recent years, as the Hong Kong Companies Registry does not screen company names for potential infringement. The Hong Kong intellectual property lawyers are experienced in assisting brand owners to lodge complaints to the Companies Registry or commence court proceedings on the basis of trademark infringement and passing-off for directions or orders to change the infringing company names.
