When countries around the world are finding out ways to protect their intellectual property, Japan and China have inked a memorandum on copyright protection.
The agreement which is analogous to a treaty was made between China’s State Copyright Bureau and Japan’s Cultural Affairs Bureau to fight copyright violations. The agreement calls for meetings and symposiums to address copyright issues, training and exchange of government employees and development of a system for copyright protection.
The agreement will be renewed routinely every five years unless one or both of the countries decide to terminate it. This memorandum would enable the export of Japanese intellectual products, including entertainment, to China, where there is occurrence of widespread piracy.
