Head :

78 Intellectual Property Department

Subhead (No. & title) :







Programme:

(2) Protection of Intellectual Property

Controlling Officer:

Director of Intellectual Property

Director of Bureau:

Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development


Question:

Under the Programme of Protection of Intellectual Property, the estimate for 2010-11 is 7.4% lower than the original estimate for 2009-10. Please set out the items with requirements in operating expenses reduced over last year, and the ways to ensure that services provided will not be affected by the reduction in expenses.

The number of media interviews, briefings and press conferences projected for 2010 is smaller than those in 2008 and 2009. How can the reduced provision meet the actual requirements in expenses in this respect? What will be done to ensure that the publicity work will not be impeded?
Asked by: Hon. LEUNG Kwan-yuen, Andrew
Reply:

The main reasons for the 2010-11 estimate under the Programme of Protection of Intellectual Property being 7.4% lower than the original estimate for 2009-10 are the adjustment in civil service pay and some staff changes in respect of two Solicitor posts in 2009, resulting in a reduction in the estimates for salaries and allowances. Through flexible deployment of existing resources, we will ensure that our services will not be affected.



We project that the number of media interviews, briefings and press conferences in 2010 will be less by two relative to the actual number in 2009, having regard mainly to the timing of the launching of new policies/initiatives/legislation this year. The financial provision for our publicity and promotion activities for 2010-11 is similar to the original estimate for 2009-10 and hence our publicity efforts on intellectual property protection will not be affected.
