100，000 yuan tops for piracy informants

In an effort to execute the strategic deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council in IPR protection and intensify striking power against piracy that jeopardizes public interest, following the instructions of the State Office for Intellectual Property Protection, National Copyright Administration (NCA) with the support of the Ministry of Finance, established a fund to award informants providing valuable information on piracy and organizations or individuals contributing to major piracy cases.

　　Making the system go on the right groove, NCA devised and released tentative measures for its operation and set up a dedicated center to process tips.  Under these measures, copyright, police, cultural, industry and commerce, customs and publication market watch authorities may obtain a maximum award of 100,000 yuan for their uncovering or assistance in uncovering of major copyright piracy cases.  This rule also applies to those organizations tipping value information.  Individuals with the same merits may receive a maximum award of 10,000 yuan.  But the reward could exceed 100,000 yuan for informants who made critical contributions to a case with national significance or involving an unusually large sum of money.
