Abstract

Volume 69 (2022) opens with a landmark symposium on the Third Amendment to the Chinese Copyright Law, guest-edited by Professor Peter K. Yu of Texas A&M University. Eleven international scholars examine the sweeping 2020 overhaul of China’s copyright regime — exploring revised protections for audiovisual and photographic works, the restructuring of collective management organizations, new limitations and exceptions (including text and data mining), anti-circumvention legislation, and dramatically expanded administrative enforcement and punitive damages provisions. The symposium constitutes the most comprehensive English-language analysis of the amendment available to the copyright bar.

Issue 2 presents the annual “Recent Developments in Copyright” — a comprehensive survey of annotated cases covering the full span of U.S. copyright doctrine from the 2022 annual meeting, compiled by Thomas Kjellberg and associates at Cowan, Liebowitz & Latman.

Issue 3 returns to scholarly articles, including a fresh art-historical reading of Bleistein v. Donaldson Lithographic Co., a provocative inquiry into whether Mark Twain may have infringed the common-law copyright of formerly enslaved storyteller Mary Ann Cord, and an institutional history of copyright examination at the U.S. Copyright Office. The volume closes with a tribute to former Register of Copyrights Mary Beth Peters.
