Copyright Society of China
The Copyright Society of China, previously referred to as the China Copyright Research Society, established on March 9, 1990, the CCRS was originally a national academic entity dedicated to theoretical copyright research.
History
In May 1993, the organization convened its inaugural annual academic conference and the second national general assembly of its members, electing its second board of governors and amending its by-laws to prolong the interval between general meetings from three to five years. In April 2002, following a decade of development, the organization was officially renamed the China Copyright Association with the endorsement of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, signifying an expansion of its activities beyond theoretical research to encompass a broader array of sectors. The National General Assembly convened in May 2002 to deliberate and ratify a revised constitution and establish a new council. In January 2013, the Fifth National Members' Congress convened, resulting in the election of the Fifth Board of Directors, with Yan Xiaohong, Deputy Director General of the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, and Deputy Director General of the General Administration of Press and Publication, appointed as Director.
