Copyright Matters in China

Copyright is an automatic right. It arises when a work is created, in that case, copyright for works follows principles of automatic protection and voluntary registration in China; even so, there is a system for copyright registration before the Copyright Protection Center of China (CPCC) in China. The certificate of copyright registration serves as prima facie evidence before any disputes and court hearing cases. Besides, we assist clients on registration of computer software as well.
