The 23rd Meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress voted and passed the decision on amending the Copyright Law on November 11, which will come into force on June 1, 2021.

The revised Copyright Law has perfected the relevant regulations on copyright protection in cyberspace, in particular, greatly increasing the upper limit of legal compensation for infringement and clarifying the principle of punitive damages, which further supports the creators in safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests.
