Research guide to Chinese copyright law
In: Chinese law series volume 15
The landscape of Chinese copyright law has transformed dramatically since the publication of the first edition of this Guide in 2000. The Copyright Law was amended in 2010, followed by promulgation of a new set of regulations in 2013. China jointed a series of international treaties and agreements concerning copyright and IPR. Between 2014 and 2015, three new specialized courts were established by the national legislature and are now in full operation. This edition attempts to capture and reflect on all these changes. This book is a complete rewrite of the former edition. Several new chapters bring in more content, which are organized to make it easier for the reader to use the information. The tables of cases, statutes, and international agreements add a new way of accessing information readily. A directory of Chinese IP agencies and law firms can be helpful to the practitioner.--Publisher
