Regulations on Copyright
The PRC Copyright Law, which took effect on June 1, 1991 and was last amended in November 2020 provides that works of Chinese citizens, legal entities, or unincorporated organizations, whether published or not, enjoy copyright in accordance with the PRC Copyright Law. “Works” refer to ingenious intellectual achievements in the fields of literature, art, and science that can be presented in a certain form. Copyright owners enjoy certain legal rights, including right of publication, right of authorship, and right of reproduction. The Copyright Law as revised in 2010 extends copyright protection to Internet activities, products disseminated over the Internet, and software products. In addition, the PRC Copyright Law provides for a voluntary registration system administered by the China Copyright Protection Center. Pursuant to the PRC Copyright Law, an infringer of copyrights is subject to various civil liabilities, which include ceasing infringement activities, apologizing to the copyright owners, and compensating the loss of the copyright owners. Infringers of copyright may also be subject to fines and/or administrative or criminal liabilities in severe situations.
