Hong Kong
Visitors’ Guide

Welcome to
Hong Kong!
As any regular globetrotting INTA
attendee will attest, finding your way
around the local terrain is vital. From
knowing which restaurant is considered
to be the latest gem, to tracking down
that quiet yet sophisticated bar to meet
a new contact, local knowledge rules.
As INTA’s Annual Meeting rolls into Hong
Kong in 2014, our IP Team has put
together our very own personal guide
to help you navigate your way around
our home, strategically located at the
doorstep of China and the centre of the
Asia Pacific basin.
Having filed the oldest (and still valid)
trade mark in Hong Kong in 1874, to
handling Hong Kong’s first ever e-filing,
Deacons is undoubtedly an interwoven
part of Hong Kong’s rich ‘IP fabric’.
Founded in 1851, we have been
operating in Hong Kong for over 160
years and we are Hong Kong’s oldest
and largest specialised IP practice.
With our long history of advising clients
in Hong Kong and Greater China, we
are consistently ranked as one of the
leading IP practices in the region.
Our visitors’ guide is broken down into
four distinct categories: sightseeing,
eating and drinking, shopping, and
things to do. From knowing the best
places for Chinese cuisine, to finding
the latest electronic gadgets, we hope
you find our personal recommendations
useful and fun. We would also be very
interested in hearing your feedback
about our choices!
As this will be the first time the INTA
Annual Meeting will be held in Asia, we
at Deacons very much hope that it will
be the start of an exciting new chapter
for INTA in this important and dynamic
region.
We look forward to welcoming you to
Hong Kong.

IP Commercial & Litigation Group | Charmaine KOO - Partner
Hullett House, in the middle of bustling Tsim Sha Tsui, is a beautiful representation
of Hong Kong’s Colonial architecture and past! It used to be the Marine Police
Headquarters and is now part of the “1881 Heritage“ entertainment complex
consisting of a boutique hotel, as well as 5 restaurants and bars, surrounded by
lovely gardens and outdoor dining areas. The Chinese restaurant Loong Toh
Yuen serves Dim Sum during the day as well as great Cantonese food and the
atmosphere is very serene and classical Chinese! The Western restaurant
St. George has many beautiful private rooms and serves excellent modern French
cuisine. You can even visit a real jail cell from 1881 at the back of the bar, the
Mariner’s Rest.
Being Hong Kong, it also has a lot of high end shops,
including some of the best “Hong Kong/Chinese” style
shops such as Shanghai Tang and Vivienne Tam, which
are great places to buy mementos for families at home and
yourself!

Hong Kong & International Trade Marks | Rodney GOH - Partner
Shau Kei Wan is the location of the Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence.
From the Shau Kei Wan MTR station, you can walk along a long stretch of Hong
Kong style “tea cafes” (or “cha chaan teng”).
Walk through this fascinating neighbourhood of local eateries to the museum itself.
The Museum of Coastal Defence is built on the converted Lei Yue Mun Fort which
was built in 1887. The museum showcases intriguing displays on the history of the
military defence of Hong Kong over the past 600 years.
Because of its hilltop location, the museum boasts breathtaking views over the
Lei Yue Mun channel and across to Kowloon which, on a
clear day, gives photographers a serious reason to linger.
Visitors can then explore the remains of the fort and gun
emplacements by following the historical trail along the
gentle slope down. All in all, this is one real gem of a
museum and visiting it makes a great half-day out.

Hike to the Peak for
a panoramic view of
Victoria Harbour
IP Commercial & Litigation Group | Amy CHUNG - Associate
Central
MTR Station
港 鐵 中 環 站
Going to the Peak by tram may be one of the more famous ways of sightseeing in
Hong Kong. However, if you do not mind working up a bit of a sweat and exploring
Hong Kong’s countryside right in the heart of the city, you can explore the hiking trail from
the University of Hong Kong through Lung Fu Shan Country Park to the Peak
(for 1-1.5 hours). The trail is suitable for all ages. At the Peak, you can explore the Lugard
Road trail which goes around the Peak. About 10-15 minutes
walk along that trail, you will find yourself at one of the best spots
in Hong Kong for a panoramic view of Victoria Harbour.
Tips: The best time to hike is when the temperature is around
18-25°C/65-77°F and the air pollution index is low to medium.

港 鐵 尖 沙 咀 站
Victoria Harbour, the largest harbour in Asia and the third largest in the world, is
famous for its stunning panoramic night view. At night, a myriad of lights from the
skyscrapers on both sides of the Harbour are so wonderful that the view has been
voted one of “Three Best Night Scenes in the World”. The best way to enjoy the
fantastic night view of glittering Victoria Harbour is to take a Star Ferry, which has
been running from Hong Kong Island to Kowloon since 1888. Crossing Victoria
Harbour on a Star Ferry has itself been rated as one of the “50 Places of a Lifetime”
by National Geographic. Apart from the Star Ferry, you can see Victoria Harbour
from the Peak Tower on the Victoria Peak, or from the piazza at the Cultural Centre,
or the promenade of Tsim Sha Tsui on Kowloon side.

The Kowloon Walled City occupies one of the most historical sites in the territory
which dates back to the 15th century. The City was once a military base but fell into
lawlessness when Qing officials were expelled under British rule. The City eventually
deteriorated into a notorious nest of criminal activities and was once considered the
most densely populated area to ever exist (around 1,255,000 inhabitants per square
kilometre). The City was eventually demolished in 1994 and the Kowloon City
Walled Park was built in its place.
The site is a good reminder of Hong Kong’s humble
beginnings before it became an international financial hub.
The Park was built in the Jiangnan garden style of the early
Qing dynasty and also displays a number of historical relics
which were unearthed during the demolition. There are also
interactive exhibition rooms for visitors to learn more about
the history and daily life of the City.

words of the “Heart Sutra”, a classic prayer used by Confucians, Buddhists and
Taoists. The full text of the “Heart Sutra” is engraved on 38 timber columns, with
260 Chinese characters in total. Here, you will find a quiet place to reflect upon
religion, history, life and the path to wisdom.

Hong Kong & International Trade Marks | Winnie YUE - Associate
After 20 years, we have only recently discovered the Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lian
Garden. Originally established in 1934, the Nunnery was beautifully renovated in 1990.
The Nunnery is connected to the Nan Lian Garden. Both are built in classical Tang
Dynasty style, according to traditional Chinese architectural techniques and ancient
Chinese landscape gardening styles. The garden is small but full of interest including
pagodas, painted bridges, waterfalls, a koi pond, rare and ancient pines trees, amazing
rock formations and petrified trees, all shipped from China. There is also a traditional tea
house, a vegetarian restaurant, 2 gift shops and a cafe that does
excellent coffee (my kids also love the mushroom and cheese
toasties).
Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lian Garden are 5 minutes walking
distance from Diamond Hill MTR station and the
Hollywood Plaza shopping centre. A complete oasis in
the middle of the city.

Be adventurous and try
a few beach bars around
Hong Kong Island
IP Commercial & Litigation Group | Christopher BRITTON - Consultant
Two of my favourite places to get away from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong and to
enjoy a quiet drink overlooking the South China Sea are the Beach Club in Stanley and
Ben’s Back Beach Bar in Shek O.
The Beach Club serves pizza and pasta as well as drinks and you can also explore the
famous Stanley Market. To get to Stanley, take the number 6,
6A, 6X or 260 air conditioned buses from Exchange Square bus
terminus in Central. Or you can just take a taxi.
To get to Shek O, take the MTR Island Line to Shau Kei Wan
Station, exit A3. From the nearby Shau Kei Wan Bus Terminus
take the number 9 bus to Shek O.

Experience communal dining in a typical local food centre setting. They have
a unique way of drinking ice cold beer from a Chinese rice bowl, just like the
swordsmen in a Chinese martial arts movie. Seafood and Chinese dishes are all
delicious. “Wind-sand chicken” is a signature dish of chicken with crispy skin with
lots of fried garlic. “Golden shrimps”, with the “gold” being salted egg yolk, is also a
popular choice. Don’t forget to order black squid ink noodles that leaves you with
blackened lips and teeth. Now look at the camera and say cheese!
Tip: Always make a reservation and do not wear white.
Waiters love to sing and dance towards the end of the night.
A good time guaranteed.

you can walk up from Central. Take the famous Mid-Levels Escalator (the longest
covered outdoor escalator in the world) from Central to Conduit Road and walk up
Old Peak Road. You will pass through residential areas, the Soho bars and restaurants
and lots of beautiful trees and foliage before you reach the top of the Peak. On a sunny
day, the views are spectacular. Be warned though, the final
part of the walk is steep. After all that exercise, you will find
the food at Cafe Deco even more delicious!
Tip: If you regain your energy after a big lunch, you can take
the Pok Fu Lam Reservoir Road back into the city. This will
take you down hill to the south side of the Peak. Or you may
prefer to take the Peak Tram down!

My favourite is “Sheung Kee” which serves a variety of hawker style food including
seafood (which you can choose from tanks full of live seafood). My favourite dishes
include clams cooked a la Hong Kong hawker style, garlic chicken ( 風 沙 雞 ), prawn

There is no sales tax in Hong Kong and many visitors are attracted to fine jewellery

services. Some designers are prepared to work with customers to come up with
designs of sentimental value and gifts for special occasions. They often have small

Tip: The prices at the Flower Market are usually lower than local florists. Some larger
stores accept credit cards but the stalls might not.
To visit the nearby Goldfish Market, simply head south on
Yuen Ngai Street (perpendicular to Flower Market Road).
Turn right onto Prince Edward Road West until you reach
Tung Choi Street. You will be amazed to see the variety of
fishes, turtles, reptiles and other pets that they have at the
aquariums and pet shops here.

Where to buy beads
and pearls for handicrafts
Hong Kong & International Trade Marks | Patsy LAU - Partner
Yu Chau Street.
Take the MTR to Sham Shui Po station. Take Exit A2 and walk straight for about 2
blocks. Yu Chau Street is perpendicular to the MTR exit. There are many shops on
this street and you will find Swarovski crystals, fresh water pearls, semi-precious
stones, leathers, buttons, wooden beads, silver accessories, etc...
Tip: Great little place for a wide selection of crystals and parts for DIY jewellery
enthusiasts. Bring cash as some shops do not accept credit
cards. There is also a small local cafe at the end of the
street (on the right side if you are coming from the MTR exit)
named “Kowloon Cafe” for a good cup of “Hong Kong-style
milk tea” and “pineapple buns” (bread) after some serious
beads shopping.

Gadget paradise
China Intellectual Property | WONG Wai Kwong - Senior Trade Mark Agent
Hong Kong is known as a “shoppers’ paradise”. Here are some tips for the
photography and electronic gadget lover:
· Big chain stores, such as Fortress and Broadway, offer a large variety of
mainstream electronic goods. However, prices at these stores are usually not
negotiable.
· Man Shing Photo Supplies: Man Sing is well known to the locals. Prices there
can be knocked off a little if purchasing multiple or expensive items.
· “Cash price” means a bigger discount if you are paying in cash at smaller stores.
· There is an electronic flea market in Sham Shui Po. Some interesting local cuisine,
fried pork skin noodles for example, can also be found in
those “greasy spoons” in the area.
Good luck and happy shopping.

Things to do

Cycling on Lantau Island
Patents & Designs | Jeffrey MCLEAN - Registered Patent Attorney
There is more to Hong Kong than skyscrapers. Catch the Lantau ferry from Central
Ferry Piers to Mui Wo and hire a bike at one of the bike shops on disembarkation.
This is a great way to explore beautiful Lantau Island - although it is very hilly - only
for the reasonably fit and capable cyclists!
For post cycling refreshing beverages, the China Bear pub on a lazy summer
Sunday afternoon comes highly recommended.

in Hong Kong ever since and Happy Valley is one of the most famous horse racing
venues in the world.
Come visit and try your luck at the two racecourses at Happy Valley and Shatin.

China Intellectual Property | Jeff WANG - Trade Mark Agent - Beijing
Take a break from the cityscapes to explore the wild side of Hong Kong! Mai Po, an
internationally acclaimed nature reserve, is a haven for thousands of migratory birds and
is located in the northwest New Territories of Hong Kong. Mai Po offers visitors a chance
to experience Hong Kong’s wildlife, ecology and biodiversity first-hand. The wetland
at the Reserve is an important stopover site for around 90,000 migratory birds every
year including a number of endangered species such as the
Nordmann’s Greenshank, Asian Dowitcher and the Spoon-billed
Sandpiper. Here, they rest, feed and replenish their energy
reserves before setting off on the next stage of their long journey.
A must for any keen bird-watcher. Spring or autumn is the
best time for bird-watching here. As access to the Reserve is
restricted, booking a guided tour with World Wide Fund (WWF)
online at www.wwf.org.hk can be the simplest way to visit the
Reserve.

MTR
The MTR (Mass Transit Railway) is the most efficient and convenient way to get
around Hong Kong. You can reach all major districts of Hong Kong as well as
connecting to the border of Mainland China (Lo Wu station and Lok Ma Chau
station).
There are ten rail lines indicated by different colors on the MTR map.
When arriving at the airport, you can purchase an Airport Express Travel Pass
or an Octopus Card (which both include a refundable deposit of HK$50). The
Airport Express Travel Pass allows you three consecutive days of unlimited travel
on the MTR as well as one or two single journeys on the Airport Express (at your
option). The Octopus Card is a stored value ticket which is also widely accepted by
payphones, vending machines, fast food eateries and convenient stores.
Our Deacons visitors’ guide indicates the nearest MTR station on the corner of each
page (but some destinations may require further travel on exiting the MTR). You
may need to transfer between two rail lines to reach your destination. Look for the
interchange station indicated by an oval connecting the two rail lines. Most transfers
only require a short walk across to the opposite platform. There are information
desks at all stations.
For more information, please visit www.mtr.com.hk.

Intellectual
property
Introduction
Founded in 1851, Deacons has been
providing legal services for over 160 years
and is a full service commercial firm offering
comprehensive legal services in the areas
of banking, China trade and investment,
commercial law, insurance, finance and
insolvency, property, litigation and dispute
resolution, as well as intellectual property.
Deacons has the largest and longestestablished
IP practice in Hong Kong. The
IP Department is one of the firm’s most
significant practice areas and it is recognised
as a market leader in Hong Kong. We handled
the first trade mark registration in Hong Kong
in 1874 and have been providing patent
advice for over 100 years.
Deacons has its main office in Hong Kong,
as well as offices in Beijing, Guangzhou and
Shanghai. Deacons’ presence in the PRC
dates back to 1986 shortly after the PRC
opened up for foreign direct investments
and the IP Department has been advising
clients on China related IP issues ever since.
Our mixture of local and expatriate lawyers
provides a combination of international
experience and on the ground knowledge of
local language, customs and culture, as well
as legal and business systems.
The IP Department provides comprehensive
legal advice in relation to IP issues in Hong
Kong and the PRC. Our philosophy is to
bring together associates from all areas of
our practice to assist clients with IP issues
that arise in today’s business. In addition,
the background of many of our associates
in commerce, entertainment, engineering,
science, and technology allows them to find
unique solutions to our clients’ problems. We
take a multidisciplinary approach in order to
offer an integrated service to our clients and to
devise comprehensive, practical and effective
strategies to achieve your legal and business
objectives. Our broad IP knowledge base,
together with the support of a full service law
firm, heightens our awareness of all possible
legal issues.
Our Staff
The IP Department has a staff of over 100.
8 partners lead a team of nearly 50 fee
earners that includes lawyers, qualified patent
and trade mark agents, as well as trade
mark and patent legal executives. Many of
85

86
our professional staff have backgrounds as
engineers or scientists. Most of our associates
are bilingual or trilingual.
Some of our IP partners are former in-house
counsels who are able to provide a unique
perspective on client needs. A number
have science and technology backgrounds
and almost all are fully tri-lingual in English,
Mandarin and Cantonese.
Our dedicated China IP Practice Group
currently consists of 3 partners and over 20
fee earners including PRC qualified lawyers
and PRC qualified patent agents. We also
have experienced PRC trade mark and patent
agents in our Beijing and Shanghai offices.
Our Service Areas
The IP Department is organised into practice
groups covering Hong Kong and International
Trade Marks, China IP, Patents and Designs,
Litigation and Enforcement, Commercial IP
and Entertainment and Media:
Trade Marks: This group has extensive
experience advising on the protection of
large multinational and regional trade mark
portfolios including clearance searches and
trade mark prosecution, conducting trade
mark audits and advising on complex portfolio
structures, assisting in the creation of local
language marks, brand management, filing
strategy, trade mark disputes, opposition,
invalidation and rectification proceedings.
Litigation and Enforcement: This group
advises on anti-counterfeiting strategies and
the enforcement and defence of IP rights
through the civil or criminal courts, customs
or other administrative agencies. This group
has won a number of high profile and
ground-breaking cases in Hong Kong and
has played a leading role in the development
of jurisprudence and procedures in the
enforcement of IP rights in Hong Kong and
the PRC.
China IP: Our China IP Group has extensive
experience representing international clients
on the unique challenges of doing business
in the PRC. This group provides a full
range of services relating to the protection,
enforcement and commercial exploitation of
IP rights including clearance searches and
trade mark prosecution, conducting trade
mark audits and advising on complex portfolio
structures, assisting in the creation of local
language marks, brand management, filing
strategy, trade mark disputes, opposition,
cancellation and revocation proceedings. All
PRC-related work is undertaken in Chinese
by our own lawyers. Our lawyers are fluent
in Mandarin as well as other major Chinese
dialects.
Patents and Designs: Most members of this
group have degrees in technical disciplines
including IT, biochemistry, computer systems
engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical
engineering and computer science, in
addition to law degrees, which helps them to
understand the technologies and challenges
faced by clients in high-tech industries. The
Patents Group offers a full range of patent
and registered design services and all drafting
of patent specifications (including drafting
in Chinese) is undertaken by registered and
qualified patent attorneys in-house.
Commercial IP: The Commercial IP Group
advises on all aspects of the commercial
exploitation of IP rights, including conducting
IP audits, licensing, franchising, assignments,
manufacturing and distribution agreements,
joint ventures, technology transfers, data
privacy, local law compliance and due
diligence on the sale and purchase of
businesses. In particular, this award-winning
practice represents some of the world’s
leading Internet service and content providers
and regularly advises on complex and cutting
edge information technology, Internet and
e-business issues.
Entertainment and Media: Deacons has
one of the few specialized Entertainment
and Media practices in Hong Kong and the
South East Asia Region and is the winner
of the “Entertainment Law Firm of the Year
in Hong Kong Award” - Global Law Experts

the Entertainment and Media Practice Group

and e-billing facilities. Our staff has instant

accounting facilities. Many procedures such
as “e-renewals” are entirely web-based.

in Hong Kong. Deacons filed the first trade
mark application under Hong Kong’s new
Trade Mark Ordinance in 2003, the first
multiple class trade mark application, the first
e-filings of trade mark, patent and design
applications and also the first interactive
electronic filing with the Hong Kong Trade
Marks Registry.
Costs
We are well aware of current economic
pressures. Although specialization and
economies of scale already render Deacons’
services extremely cost-effective, a flexible
approach is taken with regard to billing.
