Programme:	(2) Protection of Intellectual Property

Question:
The Government hopes to provide our young people with job opportunities to give play to their creativity through the CreateSmart Initiative (see paragraph 103 of the Budget Speech). In addition to encouraging their creativity, how will the Administration help them enhance their awareness of intellectual property (IP) rights and obtain IP protection under this Programme? Please provide the specific initiatives to be adopted and the amount of resources to be allocated in this respect.
Asked by: Hon. WONG Ting-kwong
Reply:
The Intellectual Property Department has all along spared no effort in enhancing the awareness of intellectual property rights (IPR) among the general public, including young people. An annual budget of about $8 million has been earmarked for publicity and public education programmes.

In the coming year, we will continue our efforts to promote respect for IPR among young people and educate them on how to protect their own IPR through APIs, school talks, interactive drama programmes, exhibitions, online interactive education kits, comic books, as well as a movie clips production competition organised in collaboration with other organisations. The expenditure for these activities, which has been included in the Department’s budget for publicity and public education programmes, amounts to about $1.1 million.
