If you appoint an agent, your agent is required to notify the Registrar of Patents of the address in Hong Kong where he resides or carries on his business activities. Any premises that is solely used by an agent either for forwarding mails or as a “care of” address is not acceptable. A P.O. Box, virtual office, or any office/place outside Hong Kong is equally not acceptable.
