Enterprises often participate in exhibitions at home and abroad for product promotions. For example, the Hong Kong Electronics Fair, Toys and Games, Watch and Clock exhibitions by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council attract thousands of exhibitors and visitors from all over the world. In these exhibitions, enterprises often have headaches when other competitor companies exhibit products with infringing design or trademarks. Under these circumstances, what should the enterprises do? Our company has rich experience in dealing with these situations. On behalf of our clients, we have established channels to lodge complaints with the organizers or the local administrative body in exhibitions in Hong Kong and some major cities in China. In addition to prove that the IP owners’ legal rights, the infringers were often demanded to discontinue exhibiting infringing products.

On the other hand, enterprises may face unreasonable and unfounded complaints in exhibitions. They may be required to discontinue their exhibition. In such circumstances, they should entrust a well-experienced agency to deal with the situation appropriately.
