10,000 copyright registrations in 2015

Annual copyright registrations in the province reached 10,000 for the first time in 2015, nearly five times the number of the previous year. The rapid growth in copyright registrations in recent years reflects stronger public awareness of copyright, and social innovation, said Hu Wei, deputy director at the provincial copyright bureau. The province provided free registration and reduced the transaction time limit from one month to one week last year to better serve the public.
