The need for better protection of Chinese character fonts in the Copyright Law was a hot topic at China's largest conference on intellectual property, which began on May 28 in Beijing.

Organized by the China Law Society, the three-day United States-China Intellectual Property Adjudication Conference drew more than 100 participants including judges from the two countries, intellectual property lawyers and company representatives.

Enhancing copyright protection and tightening the crackdown on piracy are highlights in amendments to the draft of the Copyright Law now under public review, said Wang Ziqiang, director of the National Copyright Administration's department of policy and regulations.
