We are thrilled to announce our Hong Kong Team recent success in persuading HKIPD to waive the objection within merely TWO days after the submission! What we achieved could be deemed one of the fastest reversals of a trademark objection in Hong Kong, a testament to our firm’s strategic approach and persuasive legal advocacy.

Our client faced a significant hurdle when their newly applied trademark in Hong Kong was met with an absolute ground for refusal. Understanding the stakes, we embarked on a meticulous analysis of the trademark from multiple perspectives, aiming to dismantle the examiner's initial perceptions and highlight the distinctive characters of our client's mark.

We not only support our arguments with the similar precedents in the database of HKIPD, but also expanded our focus to include the actual conditions of the marketplace, presenting a compelling argument for the distinctiveness of the client’s trademark. Our comprehensive defense was not merely an assembly of facts but a narrative tailored to resonate with the realities of the business landscape.

The result? A mere two days after submitting our well-crafted response, the examiner waived the objection against our client's trademark and allowed its publication. This swift turnaround is not just a record in our books; it is an affirmation of the impact and influence our firm holds in the realm of intellectual property law.

We are proud to have been instrumental in this victory and are ready to extend the same level of commitment and expertise to others facing similar challenges. Should you or your clients also need assistance in trademark matters in Hong Kong, please feel free to reach out to Lihan Yang, the leader of our Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan Team.

Our team is poised to deliver results that not only meet but exceed expectations.
