The province has seen 33,278 copyright registrations for works since it began to provide free registration in January, more than double the amount seen over the previous two decades. The ultimate goal of the scheme is to promote copyright trade rather than simply increase the number of registrations, said Liang Hong, director of the Sichuan Copyright Affairs Center, adding that the center is considering setting up an online trade platform to bridge the gap between copyright owners and investors.
