Trademark Management in Hong Kong: Protecting Your Intellectual Property
Hong Kong, as a global financial hub with a distinct legal system separate from Mainland China, offers strong protection for trademark rights under its own jurisdiction. Whether you’re entering the Hong Kong market for the first time or managing a portfolio of trademarks, effective trademark management is essential to maintain your intellectual property rights. Liesegang & Partner offers a full suite of trademark management services in Hong Kong—tailored to support international and domestic clients with administrative, legal, and strategic support.
