Meeting Chinese IP Law Demands with Agreement between Wolters Kluwer and Commercial Press
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Beijing, China (September 6, 2011) - Further to Wolters Kluwer's presence at the
2011 Beijing International Book Fair, Wolters Kluwer and Commercial Press, the
renowned Chinese publisher dedicated to introducing foreign law and regulations
in China, signed an agreement on the Mandarin version of a series of IP law
titles from Wolters Kluwer Law & Business. The publishing agreement aims to
support the rising intellectual property rights (IPR) demands by lawyers in
China, and is the next step of Wolters Kluwer in serving the Chinese legal
community to better respond to the impact of protecting IPR in the country.
China's understanding of the critical importance of IPR protection needs has
soared. This is demonstrated by increased litigation and the volume of patent
applications. The series of publications focuses on a range of global IP issues,
such as software and internet law, IT law, and global copyright. This reflects
China's dual interests in protecting its IP assets as well as complying with the
global regulatory framework for protection of non-Chinese assets in the China
territory.
The agreement was signed during the 2011 Beijing International Book Fair by Ms.
Stacey Caywood, CEO of Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory and Mr. Yu Dianli,
President of Commercial Press. It is a continuation of the collaboration started
only a year ago, which has already resulted in the launches of a Chinese
translation on European labor law and English-language offerings of influential
Chinese legal titles to Chinese national and international customers.
"I am very pleased that we are able to extend our strategic partnership with
Commercial Press to continue to provide high-quality, global legal content and
international intellectual property information to our customers in China," said
Stacey Caywood. "Our shared experience in providing expert solutions to legal
academia and professionals, globally and locally, will be able to bring value to
our customers by providing insight into how to navigate challenging aspects of
dispute resolution in a global context."
"This cooperation demonstrates our long-term commitment to China to bring our
publications forward at a global level, and is also a significant step and a key
action that we are undertaking with Wolters Kluwer to draw a wealth of global
legal and regulatory content translated into Chinese," said Yu Dianli, President
of Commercial Press.
Furthermore, the two partners also agreed upon a publishing cooperation that is
aimed to develop more titles for law practitioners in China and the broader non-
Chinese markets. The close partnership is evidence of the shared efforts to
leverage experiences and resources to expand translations of international
publications in Mandarin as well as develop future opportunities to bring
translated Chinese legal and regulatory content into the international legal
community to meet the needs of law practitioners best.
