Research report developed in conjunction with strategic partner, Lusheng Law Firm.

During the 27th Shanghai International Film Festival, Rouse, together with our strategic partner Lusheng Law Firm, grandly released the Latest Research on the Development and Protection of Intellectual Property for the China Film-Video Industry (2024), which attracted widespread attention from domestic and foreign film and television institutions, as well as participating practitioners. And now the report is available in English.

Rooted in the industry’s current development landscape and leveraging authoritative data and typical cases, the report offers an in-depth analysis of the latest practices in administrative and judicial protection of intellectual property rights within the film and television sector. It not only systematically summarizes the effectiveness of administrative protection mechanisms—such as copyright registration and administrative law enforcement—but also focuses on trending rules in judicial adjudication, with particular attention to legal responses to cutting-edge issues like AI-generated content and the international expansion of short dramas. This provides valuable guidance for industry practitioners.
