The National Copyright Innovation and Development Base landed in Pudong New Area today, and will take the lead in carrying out a series of breakthrough and leading measures in the copyright field such as cross-regional work registration, helping to build a leading zone for the development of the copyright industry with international influence. The first batch of works, including the "Interesting World" created by Professor Fei Jun of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, were registered in Shanghai on the principle of "the place where copyright acts occurred", and the registration certificate was obtained on the spot.
The "Pudong Model" takes the lead in exploring the registration of cross-regional works
Copyright industries are an important part and strategic resource for cultural development. With the in-depth implementation of the national intellectual property strategy, the development and protection of copyright has been raised to an unprecedented height, and the role of copyright protection in industrial development has become increasingly apparent.
In order to support the high-level reform and opening up of Pudong New Area to build a leading area for socialist modernization construction, the National Copyright Administration approved and supported the construction of a national copyright innovation and development base in Pudong New Area, and the Propaganda Department of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee of the Communist Party of China (Shanghai Municipal Copyright Office) formulated the "Several Measures on Supporting Pudong New Area to Build a National Copyright Innovation and Development Base" to support Pudong to carry out pioneering innovations and breakthrough institutional reforms in the field of copyright.
Among them, the reform of the copyright registration system has taken the lead in landing, and Pudong New Area will explore the principle of "the place where copyright acts occurred" to carry out cross-regional work registration. Works of copyright holders in other provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) that meet the conditions for the registration of works in Pudong New Area can enjoy the "citizen treatment" of registering works in Shanghai.
Industry insiders said that the registration of cross-regional works marks that Shanghai's exploration and practice in terms of the jurisdiction of work registration has taken an important step. In Pudong, the "Pudong Model" of innovating and promoting the reform of "decentralization service" for the registration of works can be incorporated into Pudong's intellectual property protection system while receiving the initial registration certificate, forming a one-stop service integrating rights confirmation, use of rights and rights protection.
"Test field" to build a national copyright innovation and development base
The reporter noted that the "Several Measures" also proposed many breakthrough and leading reform measures. For example, support high-quality development, strengthen copyright asset management around key industries and key projects in Pudong New Area, and realize the management of the whole life cycle of copyright; support the protection of the "Pudong Version" and deepen the unified performance of copyright administration and copyright enforcement functions in Pudong New Area; support high-level services to guide Pudong New Area to regularly release industrial dynamics and early warning information such as work registration and software copyright registration; support the cultivation of innovative talents to achieve the agglomeration effect of copyright senior talents.
During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the registration of works in Pudong New Area increased from more than 5,700 in 2016 to 210,000 in 2020, achieving nearly 40 times growth; software copyright registration achieved a five-fold increase, and more than 6,000 enterprises registered software copyrights. In 2020, the operating income of the cultural industry in the whole region will reach 160.9 billion yuan, and the output value of copyright-related industries will be more than 260 billion yuan. In addition, Pudong has also promoted the official operation of the copyright service center of the China (Shanghai) Free Trade Zone, the first copyright service center in the national free trade zone, creating a convenient and efficient copyright industry development environment.
In the future, Pudong New Area will build a national copyright innovation and development base with a high position, wide vision and a large pattern, be a good "test field" for the country, build a copyright industry development leading area with international influence, and better help Pudong build a leading area for socialist modernization.
