UK to China Copyright Week to Held on August 31

Nowadays, governments around the world must respond to the challenges created by the digital age and adapt their copyright systems to remain relevant and effective. The UK has implemented many reforms in the past few years. Similarly, China’s copyright law will undergo its most thorough reform yet.


In this context the UK Intellectual Property Office has coordinated a week long programme of events in conjunction with the National Copyright Administration of China (NCAC) to share best practice on key areas of reform and to engage with copyright creators and owners from both the UK and China.


Dr Ros Lynch, the UK's Director of Copyright and Enforcement will lead a UK delegation of policy officials participating in events in Beijing, Hangzhou and Shanghai. It will be an opportunity for UK stakeholders to engage directly with the Chinese copyright legislators and to share views on the development of the system at this crucial stage of reform.
