What concerns do they have? Also how will it influence trends in the industry? This article provides a brief overview of theses issues that surely will become major points of focus in the coming years. (from IP Watch)
  • Apply for Chinese Copyrights in Japan. - A joint venture by the Copyright Protection Center of China and several Japanese companies, called the Golden Bridge Co., will allow Japanese companies to register copyrights for China in Japan.

  • Zen And the Art Of Intellectual Property in China. - An interesting look (and meditation, of sorts) on how commercialization/industrialization is being used to spread the ideas of the Shaolin Monastery: Zen Buddhism, Traditional Chinese Medicines, and everyone's favorite: Martial Arts.
