Regulations Relating to Intellectual Property
Rights

The PRC has adopted comprehensive legislation
governing intellectual property rights, including copyrights, patents, trademarks and domain names.

Copyright. The Copyright Law was adopted
in 1990 and amended in 2001, 2010 and 2020. The amended version in 2020 came into effect on June 1, 2021. The amended Copyright Law extends
copyright protection to internet activities, products disseminated over the internet and software products. In addition, there is a voluntary
registration system administered by the China Copyright Protection Center. The amended Copyright Law also requires registration of a copyright
pledge. According to the Copyright Law, an infringer will be subject to various civil liabilities, which include stopping the infringement,
eliminating the damages, apologizing to the copyright owners and compensating the losses of copyright owners. The Copyright Law further

or if such illegal income is also difficult to calculate, the court can decide the amount of the actual loss up to RMB5,000,000. Under
the Copyright Law, the term of protection for copyrighted software of legal persons is 50 years and ends on December 31 of the 50th year
