-
Protecting the value of your IP
If anyone can use your IP without your permission, and without compensating you, the value of your IP diminishes, or even extinguishes. -
Protecting your reputation
Your reputation in the marketplace may be adversely affected by the infringing use of your IP. -
Taking action timely
You can seek an injunction against the infringer and seek compensation from it. -
Preventing infringing products from entering Hong Kong

Deterring misuse
