How can your organisation stand out from your competitors? How can your organisation stand a better chance in winning a potential business opportunity? It is now a buyers’ market, customers have choices and they all have high standards. Do you have a good reputation in the market place? Can you give your customers the confidence that they are making the right choice in choosing you?

The “Genuine Prestige” campaign is initiated by the Business Software Alliance (BSA) and the Hong Kong Chamber of Small and Medium Business Ltd. (HKCSMB) , and supported by the Intellectual Property Department (IPD). The goal of this campaign is:

  1. to assist organisations in Hong Kong in creating a prestige reputation around the use of genuine software.
  2. to distinguish these organisations as honest and trust-worthy business partners.
  3. to show these organisations as reliable suppliers who respect the rights and innovation of others.
  4. to encourage organisations to operate their business in a risk free environment.

Participating organisations are required to commit to the use of original and fully licensed software. They are required to commit to the establishment of a Software Asset Management practice, institute organisational guidelines which commit to upholding intellectual property rights and enforce an organisational policy on the use of original and licensed software. Once an application is approved, the successful organisation will be authorized to use the campaign logo on their organisation collaterals to signify their commitment to the respect of intellectual property rights, and will be awarded a campaign certificate.

Participating organisation’s commitment:
  • Reject the use of pirated and unlicensed software; undertake to purchase and use only genuine licensed software.
  • Ensure all business software within the organisation is fully licensed and genuine.
  • Implement a model software asset management (SAM) practice in the organisation.
  • Commitment to respect intellectual property rights of others.
