Preguntas frecuentes
What types of patents can be filed in Hong Kong?
In Hong Kong, applicants can file for three types of patents: Standard Patents (via re-registration), Original Grant Patents (OGP), and Short-Term Patents. Each type serves different purposes and has its own filing requirements.
What is the difference between a Standard Patent and an Original Grant Patent?
A Standard Patent is obtained by re-registering a granted patent from China, the UK, or the European Patent Office (designating the UK). An Original Grant Patent is filed directly with the Hong Kong Intellectual Property Department (HKIPD) and undergoes local substantive examination.
Can I file a patent application directly in Hong Kong without using the re-registration route?
Yes, since 2019, Hong Kong has allowed direct filings through the Original Grant Patent (OGP) system, enabling applicants to obtain a patent without relying on a corresponding foreign patent.
Who can file a patent application in Hong Kong?
Any individual or legal entity, regardless of nationality or residence, can file a patent application in Hong Kong, either directly or through a registered patent agent.
What languages are accepted for patent filings in Hong Kong?
Patent applications can be filed in either English or Chinese. All documentation and correspondence with the HKIPD must be in one of these two official languages.
What are the basic requirements for a patent application in Hong Kong?
Applicants must submit a request for grant, a clear description of the invention, claims defining the scope of protection, any relevant drawings, and an abstract. For OGPs, additional documentation may be required during examination.
How long does it take to get a patent granted in Hong Kong?
For Standard Patents, grant can occur relatively quickly since there is no substantive examination. For OGPs, the process can take several years due to the examination phase, depending on the complexity of the invention and responsiveness to Office Actions.
What is the duration of patent protection in Hong Kong?
Standard and Original Grant Patents offer protection for up to 20 years from the filing date, subject to annual renewals. Short-Term Patents are valid for four years, with the possibility of a four-year extension upon request.

Filing a Patent Application in Hong Kong: Step-by-Step Overview

 

Securing rights for an invention starts with a patent application. The process of submitting documents ensures the inventor gains exclusive control over their creation and can commercialize it without unauthorized use by competitors. Whether it’s a full or temporary request, understanding the local IP system is essential for success. In a region like Hong Kong, where innovation and trade converge, timely and accurate protection of technical solutions is a strategic necessity.

Patent Application Routes

Offers a unique system that incorporates both international standards and local procedures. Depending on the nature of your invention and your business goals, you can choose from several registration routes:

1. Standard (O) – Based on prior filing with a designated patent office (China, UK, or EPO). After that, one can request entry into the system.

2. Standard (R) –A direct route, introduced in 2019, allowing inventors to file directly with the Intellectual Property Department (IPD).

3. Short-term protection – A simpler option with a shorter duration, suitable for technologies with limited commercial lifespan.

Each route offers specific benefits and is associated with different levels of review and legal strength.

Preparing to File a Patent Application

Before initiating the registration process, careful preparation is essential. This includes assessing the invention’s novelty, drafting technical content, and planning the protection strategy.

Key steps before submission:

  • Conduct a novelty assessment to avoid conflicts with existing solutions
  • Draft a full description, including claims and diagrams
  • Decide whether to start with a provisional or standard submission
  • Estimate expected government charges and timelines
  • Consult a qualified legal advisor familiar with IP regulations

A provisional submission gives the applicant a priority date and one year to follow up with a formal request, offering flexibility while securing early protection.

Filing Methods and Documents Required

Invention protection documents can be submitted either in person or online. The Intellectual Property Department provides detailed instructions and downloadable forms through its official portal.

Essential documents for a standard procedure include:

  • Request form
  • Complete technical write-up with claims and explanations
  • Abstract and drawings (if relevant)
  • Proof of ownership
  • Priority details (if claiming earlier submissions)
  • Proof of previous filing, for standard (O) applications

An accurate and complete package reduces delays and increases the likelihood of approval.

Fees and Timeframes

The total fee depends on the protection type, invention complexity, and whether professional support is involved. Typically, short-term rights incur lower charges, but expert assistance adds to overall costs. Direct procedures (R-route) also require examination payments.

Processing times:

  • Standard (O): Varies, depending on timing of the original overseas decision
  • Standard (R): Local review required; duration can range from 18–36 months
  • Short-term: Usually granted within 6–12 months

Being aware of timelines helps innovators align business and production plans accordingly.

Benefits of Filing in Hong Kong

Choosing Hong Kong for innovation protection offers several strategic advantages:

  • Strong legal enforcement under a transparent system
  • Gateway to Mainland China and ASEAN markets
  • Efficient digital services and support for electronic filing
  • Access to international treaties and frameworks

Whether your business operates regionally or globally, registering IP rights adds legitimacy and long-term security to your efforts.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

To ensure your request proceeds smoothly, avoid these missteps:

  • Incomplete disclosures
  • Claims that are unclear or overly broad
  • Missing deadlines when converting a temporary submission to full registration
  • Overlooking renewal dates or office responses
  • Not seeking guidance from a certified lawyer when necessary

Being methodical during submission reduces risk and builds stronger legal protection.

Conclusion

Submitting a patent application in Hong Kong is more than a formality—it’s a commitment to protecting innovation in one of Asia’s leading business centers. Whether you begin with a preliminary request or proceed directly to formal registration, understanding procedures, costs, and strategies ensures success. From growing startups to global enterprises, effective IP protection is the first step toward turning innovation into competitive value.
