The copyrightregime is enshrined in the Copyright Ordinance (Cap 528) and like mostother jurisdictions, registration is not a pre-requisite for obtainingcopyright protection, nor are there any formalities that need to becomplied with before copyright protection is afforded to a work inHong Kong.The Copyright Ordinance gives protection to a wide range of creativeoutputs including literary works (including computer programs),dramatic, musical and artistic works, sound recordings, films, broadcasts,published editions as well as rights in performances and moral rights.Hong Kong is a member of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) andits intellectual property laws generally meet the requirements set out inthe WTO Agreement on the Trade-Related Aspects of IntellectualProperty Rights Agreement (TRIPs).<br/><br/>Description: Presented at the First International Forum on the Content Industry: Legal and Policy Framework for the Digital Content Industry collaboratively held by the East China University of Political Science and Law (http://www.ecupl.edu.cn) and the Queensland University of Technology (http://www.qut.edu.au) in Shanghai, People’s Republic of China, May 2007.

And forinnovative Chinese companies, whether they are domestically orinternationally focussed, intellectual property is an increasingly importantissue.Perhaps the first thing to say about this topic is that we don’t know whatthe actual implications of the FTA on intellectual property regulationwill be. The FTA negotiations are concluded as a single undertaking –one whole agreement – and a key principle of that, is that nothing isagreed until everything is agreed. Therefore in this regard it can beconfidently said at this point, that nothing has yet been agreed, and that certainly applies to the intellectual property component of thenegotiations.The following chapter will examine the implications of the proposedAustralia-China FTA on intellectual property law. In particular, thechapter will consider key issues, such as why Australia believes it isimportant to include a separate chapter on intellectual property in theAustralia-China FTA. Finally, the chapter will conclude by drawing someconclusions on what implications the Australia-China FTA might haveon intellectual property regulation.<br/><br/>Description: Presented at the First International Forum on the Content Industry: Legal and Policy Framework for the Digital Content Industry collaboratively held by the East China University of Political Science and Law (http://www.ecupl.edu.cn) and the Queensland University of Technology (http://www.qut.edu.au) in Shanghai, People’s Republic of China, May 2007.

In anarrow sense it refers to whether a court has the authority to hear a casein relation to specific people and activities (subject matter) but in abroader sense it also encompasses what law should be applied (choice oflaw), whether the court is a suitable court to hear the case (choice ofcourt) and the enforcement of judgements.The notion of jurisdiction provides a tool for efficiently managinglitigation and traditionally has been based upon notions of connection toa particular territory. In the global transnational world of the Internet theconcept of jurisdiction has struggled to find a sensible meaning.1 Doesjurisdiction lie everywhere that the Internet runs or is it more narrowlydefined?In this chapter we examine recent cases concerning jurisdiction and theInternet before the courts of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) inmatters relating to intellectual property. We also consider decisions inAustralia and the United States of America (US) and internationaldevelopments in the area.<br/><br/>Description: Presented at the First International Forum on the Content Industry: Legal and Policy Framework for the Digital Content Industry collaboratively held by the East China University of Political Science and Law (http://www.ecupl.edu.cn) and the Queensland University of Technology (http://www.qut.edu.au) in Shanghai, People’s Republic of China, May 2007.
