Features: Renowned international rights manager Ms. Lene T. Owen returns to pen this book, specifically written for Chinese publishers on how to engage in copyright trade with foreign publishers. Based on her extensive knowledge and experience in international copyright trade, Ms. Owen addresses how Chinese publishers can collaborate and exchange in international copyright trade, including how to plan topics, import copyrights, export copyrights, negotiate and sign contracts with foreign publishers, handle copyright registration, and deal with practical issues such as sample books, payments, customs clearance, and taxation. From the perspective and stance of an international copyright holder, Ms. Owen examines issues from the viewpoints of both the licensor and licensee, combining practical insights with case studies, contract texts, and legal documents. She discusses topics such as rights retention, piracy, review systems, and distribution rights, providing an invaluable bilingual practical manual for Chinese copyright managers.
There are three purposes for publishing this book: First, to explain that copyright is the foundation of copyright licensing and must be respected. Second, to offer a practical guide for Chinese publishers on how to engage in copyright trade with foreign publishers. Third, to help foreign publishers understand the characteristics of China's publishing industry, the current state of copyright trade, and relevant legal regulations, thereby guiding them in conducting copyright trade with Chinese publishers.
The book is presented in a bilingual Chinese-English format, accompanied by various contract templates for Chinese and foreign copyright trade, specific provisions of China's Copyright Law and its Implementing Rules, and relevant regulations of China's tax legal system. It is an invaluable bilingual practical manual for copyright managers. Therefore, this book is not only an essential reference for Chinese copyright managers, copyright agencies, and copyright administrators but also a useful guide for foreign professionals working in related copyright fields. It serves as a valuable resource not only for Chinese and foreign publishing editors and marketing staff but also for internationally aspiring writers and scholars, providing them with an effective guide to protect their rights and expand their influence.
