Boss's wife:

Looks 80% the same

Customer 1:

I think it's 90% the same

Customer 2:

More like 99%

Boss:

They look almost exactly the same!

Boss:

This brand is from the Mainland

Boss's wife:

The other one is from Hong Kong

Customer 2:

How come?

Customer 1:

Because there is a separate system of trademark registration in Hong Kong and on the Mainland

Boss:

A trademark registered in Hong Kong will be protected only within Hong KongĀ 
To get protection on the Mainland, we need a separate registration

Lee Lik-chee:

Understand trademark law
Register in both Hong Kong and the Mainland
