About these videos
The videos are produced by the BKIP team and use real examples to explain the problems that come up most often in trademark and patent practice: how goods and services are classified, what to do with an opposition notice, whether a mark is enforceable, and how patents protect an invention and support marketing. Each runs a few minutes and is meant to build the concepts before you file.
The videos are only a starting point. In a real filing, class choice, search results and the examiner's report all change the outcome. Our team of trademark solicitors and agents handles filings in Hong Kong, China and 36 countries and regions; our solicitors are also regularly invited by the HKTDC, the Hong Kong Productivity Council and trade bodies to teach IP courses, and most examples in the videos come from live files.
These resources are worth reading alongside the videos:
- Video articles: short videos with written notes so you can revisit the key points
- Articles: Hong Kong, China and overseas trademark practice
- Trademark fee list: fees and timing for Hong Kong and 36 countries and regions

Frequently asked questions
Q1: Can I file the trademark myself after watching?
The videos help you understand the process and the risks, but filing involves class choice, the goods and services wording, and judgement about search results. Mistakes narrow the protection or lead to refusal, so start with a free search and class advice.
Q2: Do the prices in the videos match the current fee list?
The fee list governs. Prices and offers at the time of filming may since have changed.
Q3: Can I watch these videos on another platform?
Yes — they are also on the BKIP YouTube channel, and the links stay on this site so you can rewatch anytime.
Q4: Who are these videos for?
SME owners, colleagues responsible for brand and product marketing, and anyone preparing a first trademark or patent application. They are practical rather than legalistic and assume no legal background; if questions remain, send us the brand name or product details for a free search.
