| Abstract: |
| To find practical problems with, and solutions to, the backwardness of biotechnology in Hong Kong, therefore, the study will be primarily empirical. Field visits and interviews will be conducted in biotechnology research institutes and firms in Hong Kong to find key issues and information concerning biotechnology patenting and commercialization. Surveys will also be made among these institutions to get relevant data and cases useful to the analysis of the level of biotechnology, as well as the costs and benefits in reforming the patent systems of the two regions concerning biotechnology protection. |
