All applications for functional patents and inventions with technology elements and susceptible of industrial application are eligible.
Key Features
Maximum funding support: HK$250,000 or 90% of the sum of the total direct costs of patent application (including the cost for patent search-cum-technical assessment) .
Assessment
Applications will be processed through HKPC on a confidential basis. Applicants must provide HKPC with details of their ideas or inventions.
