Benefits of Registering a Trade Mark in Hong Kong

There are several benefits to registering your trademark in Hong Kong: -

1. By registering your trademark you will gain exclusive rights to it.

Following your trademark registration in Hong Kong, you'll receive a certificate of trademark registration to prove that you own the trademark. Once you've received this, you'll have the exclusive right to use your trademark in all your limited company's goods and services in Hong Kong.

2. Trademark registration will enable you to take legal action against anyone who infringes on it.

After you've registered your trademark, it is significantly easier to take legal action against any one who has used your trademark without consent. It also prevents other businesses from registering the same, or very similar, trademark.

3. Trademark registration means fewer worries.

Once you've registered your trademark, you will have peace of mind that you're protected in the case of someone trying to use it. It will also means fewer worries about accidentally infringing a third party's trademark.

4. Trademark registration means you can use the ® symbol.

It is an offence to use the ® symbol without having first registered for a trademark. After your trademark registration is complete though, you can use the ® symbol next to your private company's trademark. This will warn others against using the trademark and also give your brand a more reputable image.

5. A registered trademark is an invaluable asset.

A registered trademark is a symbol of your company's brand and reputation and will separate you from your competition. It is also a significant company asset which can even be used in the valuation of your company in the event of M&A or initial public offering cases.
