Το να είσαι προσανατολισμένος στον πελάτη είναι ένα χαρακτηριστικό των σύγχρονων ψηφιακών υπηρεσιών που προσπαθούν να αυτοματοποιήσουν σχεδόν κάθε βήμα.

Συχνές Ερωτήσεις
Can I file a PCT application directly in Hong Kong?
No, Hong Kong is not an independent contracting state under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). Applicants in Hong Kong must file their PCT applications through the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), as Hong Kong operates under China’s international treaty obligations.
How can Hong Kong-based applicants use the PCT system?
Applicants residing or operating in Hong Kong can file a PCT application via CNIPA, which acts as the Receiving Office. From there, they can designate multiple countries for potential patent protection, including China.
Does a PCT application automatically lead to a Hong Kong patent?
No, a PCT application does not result in a Hong Kong patent by itself. After entering the national phase in China and receiving a granted Chinese patent, applicants may then apply for a Standard Patent in Hong Kong by re-registering that granted Chinese patent.
Can I designate Hong Kong directly in my PCT application?
No, you cannot designate Hong Kong separately. Since Hong Kong is not a separate PCT jurisdiction, it must be covered through a re-registration process after a Chinese patent is granted.
What is the benefit of using the PCT route if I want protection in Hong Kong?
The PCT route allows you to seek patent protection in China (and other countries) through one application. Once a Chinese patent is granted, you can use it as the basis to re-register in Hong Kong as a Standard Patent, making it an indirect but effective route to Hong Kong protection.
Can I file an Original Grant Patent (OGP) in Hong Kong based on a PCT application?
No, the OGP route in Hong Kong is for direct filings only and does not involve or rely on the PCT system. If you wish to protect your invention in Hong Kong via the PCT system, you must go through China and then re-register the granted patent in Hong Kong.
What is the timeline for entering the national phase in China from a PCT application?
You must enter the national phase in China within 30 months from the earliest priority date. Only after obtaining the granted Chinese patent can you proceed to re-register in Hong Kong.
Do I need to appoint a patent agent in China to file a PCT application from Hong Kong?
Yes, when filing through CNIPA or entering the national phase in China, foreign applicants including those from Hong Kong must appoint a qualified patent agent registered in China to handle the process.

Filing an International Application (PCT)
For innovators in Hong Kong aiming to protect their inventions internationally, the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) provides a streamlined route. Although Hong Kong is not an independent PCT contracting state, inventors can still benefit from the PCT system through China.
What is a PCT Application?
A PCT application is an international patent filing that allows applicants to seek protection in over 150 countries with a single submission. It doesn’t result in a “world patent” but simplifies the initial process of filing in multiple jurisdictions. A PCT application includes an international search and can optionally include a preliminary examination, helping assess the patentability of the invention before national phase entries.
The Benefits of Filing a PCT Application in Hong Kong
- Centralized Filing: File one application to cover many countries, saving time and costs.
- Extended Decision Time: Gain up to 30/31 months from the priority date to enter national phases, including China.
- Strategic Planning: Evaluate commercial potential and refine the invention before committing to costly national filings.
- Access to IP Protection in China and Beyond: As Hong Kong applicants file through China’s national office, they retain full access to PCT benefits.
Important Considerations for Filing a PCT Application in Hong Kong
- Filing Route: Applicants in Hong Kong must file through the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) as the receiving office.
- No Direct PCT National Phase in Hong Kong: Since Hong Kong is not a separate PCT jurisdiction, international applications must enter via China and then be re-registered or filed under Hong Kong's patent system.
- Professional Guidance Recommended: Navigating the PCT and Hong Kong’s unique system often requires support from qualified patent agents or attorneys.
