NFTs and Data Privacy

Deacons is pleased to co-host our “IP in Business – Deacons Afternoon Tea Series” with the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP). Our Partners, Catherine Zheng, Dora Si, Ian Liu and Kelley Loo will examine some of the legal issues arising from today’s multi-faceted fintech and digital assets industry.

• NFTs, tokenisation and legal considerations

The explosion of the NFT market is leading to many industries exploring the use of NFTs as part of their business strategy. However, the legal treatment of NFTs is still evolving and the opportunities afforded by asset tokenisation also give rise to complex legal issues, where the law is still trying to catch up with the technology. Deacons IP Partner Ian Liu will give an introduction to NFTs, discuss the key legal issues to be aware of, and share his experience of helping a client on a NFT project.

• Fintech and data privacy in Hong Kong and Mainland China

In the data-intensive financial sector, data privacy compliance has emerged as a critical priority for sustainable business growth. Balancing innovation with privacy and data security concerns is a significant challenge in the fast-growing fintech industry. Deacons IP Partners Dora Si and Kelley Loo will compare the legal framework in Hong Kong and Mainland China in the context of the fintech industry and discuss practical recommendations and best practices to help manage privacy risks.
