With the new amendment of the Copyright Law of People’s Republic of China (“Copyright Law”) coming into effect on June 1, 2020, “cinematographic works and works created by a process analogous to cinematography” (hereafter referred to collectively as “cinematographic and quasicinematographic works”) have given place to “audiovisual works.” While the Regulations for the Implementation of the Copyright Law of the People’s Republic of China (“Implementing Regulations”) defines the former term as “works which are recorded on some medium, consisting of a series
of images, with or without accompanying sound, and which can be projected with the aid of suitable devices or communicated by other means,” the Law and the Regulations do not define the latter.
