A standardised and manageable patent audit procedure has also been developed by KTO for all granted patents at HKBU.   The new audit procedure requires patents to be audited every three years to determine whether the patents are still of commercial value to be maintained by HKBU.   This will allow the University to keep high-value patents while lowering the cost of patent maintenance by abandoning the ones that are no longer of commercial interest to HKBU.
