| Description: | This is the first book to offer a detailed account of the relationship between patents and innovation in the unique political context of mainland China and Hong Kong, and to examine how two completely different patent systems can co-exist in one country and influence innovation on both sides. How do patents affect innovation in mainland China and Hong Kong? How can two patent systems operate within one country and how is innovation affected by the ''one country two systems'' model? For the first time, this book links these challenging issues together and provides a comprehensive overview for government officials, law-makers, academics, law practitioners and students to understand the patent systems of mainland China and Hong Kong. Themes examined include the interaction between the two distinctive patent regimes, the impact of patents on innovation in China''s specific industries such as green tech, traditional Chinese medicines and telecommunications, the role of utility models in inflating low-quality patents and the application of good faith principle in enforcing FRAND in mainland China, patent system reforms in Hong Kong, and the impact of these changes on innovation in the two vastly distinctive yet closely connected jurisdictions. |
