Note 1: Temporary staff were employed mainly to assist the implementation of the 3-month Intellectual Property Tutor Programme. The number of tutors employed each year was about 10.
Note 2: Intellectual property tutors were employed on a part-time basis. As they are not full-time staff, it is inappropriate to compare their number with the total number of staff in the Department.
