Fontworks, jointly with Chinese font maker HOUSEI Co., Ltd. and Mei Lun International Law Office, has developed the latest edition of Chinese National Standards (GB18030-2022) and the concept of copyright on Chinese fonts. We will hold an online seminar on January 27, 2023 (Friday) with the theme of "trial precedents".
From August 1, 2023, the latest version of the Chinese National Standard (GB18030-2022) will be applied. As a result, all products that display characters distributed in China must comply with GB18030-2022.
In the first half of the seminar, we have invited Mr. Shingo Mori, a lawyer from Meirin International Law Office, to explain the concept of copyright regarding Chinese fonts using recent court precedents.
In the second half of the seminar, HOUSEI Co., Ltd. will explain the outline of GB18030-2022 and the changes and notes of the new version.
There will also be time for Q&A on the day.
It will be a valuable opportunity to provide the latest information to those in charge of companies that have already or are planning to do business in mainland China. We look forward to your participation.
