This is the second year that the Technology Transfer Office partners with The Federation of Internationale des Conseils en Propriete Industrielle (FICIP) to run the South East Asian Drafting (SEAD) training course on patent drafting at the Hong Kong Cyberport. In addition to Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited, this year we have also enlisted the support of Innovation and Technology Commission and that of Intellectual Property Department as principal sponsors.

The first segment of the course was held from April 11-15,2011. It was attended by 32 participants from Hong Kong, mainland China, India, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. They will return in September to attend the third and final segment.
