what’s going on?

self-professed businessman lee joon-ho, 50, pleaded guilty in july to one count of conspiracy to obtain services by deception and one count of making a false representation to an immigration officer. he was sentenced and jailed in hong kong after appearing in the district court on monday.

lee was arrested when he arrived at the airport last november and admitted that in december 2011, he acquired a boarding pass to sydney with his real passport and purported to depart for australia on qantas airways to an immigration officer at clearance.

once in the airport’s restricted area, lee left the boarding pass inside a toilet stall for the chinese national, who entered the area using his real passport and a ticket to a mainland city, to pick up.

lee told investigators he was following an intermediary’s instructions and would receive a flight ticket to shanghai, according to ng chi-hong, chief immigration officer at the anti-illegal migration agency.

the mainland man who picked up lee’s pass was stopped and arrested by immigration officers when he attempted to board the plane with a fake passport, which had lee’s identity information.

he was sentenced to 12 months in jail in january 2012 for making a false representation and using a forged travel document.

procuring boarding passes?

no way!

the mainland man said he paid a total of 120,000 yuan (us$17,500) to illegally enter australia to look for a job.

lee was identified as the facilitator by investigators following up on the case but was only arrested six years later because “we didn’t have enough evidence to prove he provided his boarding pass for someone else”.

“this is an individual case and we don’t think it was syndicated criminal activity” .

little more than a month ago, a frenchman was sentenced to 30 months in jail for procuring boarding passes and transferring them to other travellers for cash and free flights.

hong kong is an international transport hub, outlaws might make use of this for criminal activities. since then, the anti-illegal migration agency, founded in 2004, conducts daily patrols in the airport and collaborates with foreign immigration authorities as well as diplomatic missions in the city to fight illegal immigration with forged travel documents and the illegal transfer of hong kong passports.

strengthen your ip protection! what are you waiting for?

government leaders and industry experts from more than 30 countries gathered at the china patent annual conference in beijing on aug 30 to share plans for the future of intellectual property (ip) development.

strengthen your ip protection! what are you waiting for?

intellectual property (ip) in china

ten years removed from china’s launch of the national intellectual property strategy outline, experts say ip protection is more important than ever.

most results over the past decade have shown progress. the number of international applications filed under china’s patent cooperation treaty continues to grow, ranking second worldwide for 2017.

“china has a reason to have the largest patent office, largest trade market office, largest design office in the world, with the extraordinary support from the state leadership,” said francis gurry, director general of the world intellectual property organization.

officials at the conference said the nation has made great strides in enhancing ip protection.

some expressed hopeful expectations over the future of china’ s ip protection

“when we think about it on a deeper level, we would really hope for stronger protection of trade secrets to enforce our rights. we would also like to see higher compensations in patent entrenchment proceedings,” said udo meyer, senior vice-president of basf ag.

commissioner shen changyu told the meeting that china will unwaveringly play the role of defender, participant and active builder of international rules on intellectual property rights. he added that the nation will protect legitimate ip rights of domestic and foreign enterprises according to law, thus helping china to further open up.
