Abstract
This chapter seeks to complement the various sector-specific chapters in this project by examining the possible role of public policy on intellectual property (IP) in enhancing the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region’s (HKSAR) innovation system. While there are various interpretations of the scope of IP policy in the literature (see e.g., Idris, 2003; JSCIP, 2002; UNIDO, 2006), in this chapter we take a broad interpretation that covers not only policies to protect and enforce IP rights, but also policies to promote the creation of IP and facilitate its commercial exploitation and market transactions. In addition, besides examining the efficacy of the enacted policy framework, we also look into the effectiveness of institutions in policy implementation and enforcement.
