“This book distinguishes itself from the existing one in at least two aspects. For one, it is
written by Hong Kong legal academics--HK is a global hub for various data-driven
applications, and the HK government has been on the frontline of rolling out new regulatory
approaches governing data-related issues. Hong Kong’s policies can inform other
jurisdictions; moreover, its unique status as related to the Greater China Area, too, makes
Hong Kong experience as a & quot; smart city " an attractive case study. For another, the authors
have strong backgrounds in patents/IPRs; this is a very important yet less explored angle in
the context of data governance. This book should be read by all scholars, policymakers and
lawyers who are keen to capture the dynamics of law and data-driven technologies in Hong
Kong, the hub of the most dynamic markets in Asia.”– Dr. Han-Wei Liu, Senior Lecturer,
Monash University, Australia.
