Centre for Digital Copyright and Intellectual Property Research in China

由中国宁波诺丁汉大学（UNNC）领导和协调的数字版权中心将在中国建立数字版权和知识产权（IP）领域的科学和创新能力。该研究所致力于中国当前的五年计划，将创意经济（新被指定为“支柱产业”）发展到GDP的6%，并将与中国政府（国家、地区和市）、企业（尤其是法律的、技术和创意部门）和高等教育领域的一系列关键利益相关者进行合作。知识产权、政策、监管和许可，关注：执法和监管问题;事后法律的背景下的数字资产;发布平台;协议、许可和授权;比较研究的好处;中国的国家和省级背景;以及英国背景下版权和收藏协会的特殊模式。2.平台，工具和技术，着眼于：商业创新模式;专业与业余的区别;合理使用协议;该中心由宁波市科学技术局资助，并将与RCUK数字时代版权与新商业模式中心密切合作。（CREATe，格拉斯哥大学）和地平线数字经济研究中心（诺丁汉大学）。联合国国家信息中心将与中国在北京（卡斯）、上海、成都、杭州和其他地方的其他研究中心合作，发挥辐射中心的作用，除了政策文件、研究专著、文章、网站、专题讨论会和讲习班外，我们预计还将提供培训和知识交流机会。随着知识产权和新数字技术成为中国政府战略的核心，以及未来五年中英在贸易、工业和创意艺术方面的合作，我们希望该中心能够在两国产生真正的社会和实际影响。

The Digital Copyright Centre, led and co-ordinated by the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) will build science and innovation capacity within China in the area of Digital Copyright and Intellectual Property (IP). It addresses the current five-year plan in China to grow the creative economy - newly designated a 'pillar industry' - to 6% of GDP and will engage with a range of key stakeholders in China in the domains of government (national, regional and municipal), business (not least in the legal, technical and creative sectors) and higher education.Key research questions will cover two core areas:1. IP, Policy, Regulation and Licensing, looking at: enforcement and regulation issues; digital assets in post-mortem legal contexts; publishing platforms; protocols, licenses and permissions; the benefits of comparative research; national and provincial contexts in China; and the particular model of copyright and collecting societies from the UK context.2. Platforms, tools and technologies, looking at: business innovation models; professional versus amateur distinctions; fair use agreements; and the unlocking of cultural heritage collections for public benefit.The Centre is supported by funding from the Ningbo Science and Technology Bureau and will work closely with the RCUK Centre for Copyright and New Business Models in the Digital Age (CREATe, University of Glasgow) and the Horizon Digital Economy Research Hub (University of Nottingham). The UNNC Centre will act as a hub with spokes in partnership with other centres of research in China in Beijing (CASS), Shanghai, Chengdu, Hangzhou, and elsewhere.As well as policy papers, research monographs, articles, websites, symposia and workshops, we expect outputs to include training and knowledge exchange opportunities. With IP and new digital technologies at the heart of Chinese governmental strategy and UK-China collaborations in trade, industry and the creative arts over the next five year period, we hope this Centre with have genuine social and practical impact in both countries.
