Navigating international patent protection is crucial for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to expand globally and enter new markets. It is also essential to safeguard innovative ideas and technologies from being copied or exploited by competitors worldwide. Additionally, leveraging policy resources such as the ‘patent box’ tax incentive implemented by the Hong Kong SAR Government can provide significant financial benefits, further supporting SMEs in their innovation and expansion efforts. 

This webinar will explore how SMEs can enhance their global market position by seizing opportunities brought through effective patent protection and available policy resources. Our speakers, who are experienced tax and legal practitioners, will discuss the ‘patent box’ tax incentive from both tax and legal perspectives. They will also share practical tips and case studies to enhance participants' understanding of the topic. 

Join us to gain valuable insights and practical knowledge to support your innovation and global expansion efforts.
