The special 301 investigation of China's software protection laws: cautious optimism leads for a successful exercise in dispute resolution
Article Abstract:
The US' investigation of China's lack of protection for US copyrighted software packages, conducted under section 301 of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988, has led to successful bilateral negotiations promising stronger Chinese laws for software protection. The US hopes that further negotiations and pressure from GATT members will bring about stricter Chinese enforcement of intellectual property law and punishment of Chinese computer software pirates. Chinese compliance will strengthen international relations and US technology exports.
