What is the process for handling copyright disputes
(1) Mediation. Article 55, paragraph 1, of the Copyright Law stipulates that copyright disputes can be mediated. Mediation is a method for parties to a dispute to reach an agreement to resolve disputes on the basis of mutual understanding on the basis of voluntariness. Of course, after reaching an agreement, it is very likely that one party will go back on his word, fail to implement the mediation agreement, and the mediation fails. The parties may also file a lawsuit with the People's Court and request a judgment.
(2) Arbitration. Paragraph 2 of Article 55 of the Copyright Law stipulates: You may also apply for arbitration to an arbitration institution based on the written arbitration agreement reached by the parties or the arbitration clause in the copyright contract. Arbitration is a legal act performed by an arbitration institution to resolve copyright disputes in accordance with the law. It has final legal effect. Only if one party fails to fulfill the arbitration award can the other party file a lawsuit.
(3) Litigation. Litigation is a way to resolve disputes through judicial procedures. It is mainly used for:
1. The parties directly file a lawsuit with the People's Court to resolve copyright disputes;
2. If an agreement cannot be reached through mediation or one party regrets after reaching an agreement, the other party will resolve the dispute through litigation;
3. One party If the arbitration award is not enforced, the other party files a lawsuit to resolve the dispute.
