Logo

Hi,

Would it infringe on any copyright to use the Hong Kong flag within a coporate logo?

Copyright...? But it is against the law if that important.


Cap. 2602, Sec. 6.

REGIONAL FLAG AND REGIONAL EMBLEM ORDINANCE

Prohibition on certain uses of the regional flag and regional emblem


The regional flag, the regional emblem or their designs must not be displayed or used in-

(a) trademarks or advertisements;


Thinking of using a flag which looks like the HK flag? Best not to, that comes under Sec. 8.


A copy of the regional flag or regional emblem that is not an exact copy but that so closely resembles the regional flag or regional emblem as to lead to the belief that the copy in question is the regional flag or regional emblem is taken to be the regional flag or regional emblem for the purposes of this Ordinance.

thanks claire.
