Hong Kong’s dramatic economic growth during the past 30 years has been matched by the development of an increasingly extensive and effective legal regime for the protection of intellectual property. The handover of Hong
Kong to China has seen further improvements in this system.

A decade ago, Hong Kong used to be perceived as one of the world’s counterfeiting black spots. In recent years this perception has changed largely due to the enactment of new intellectual property laws and consistent and
thorough campaigns led by the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department.
