| 摘 要： | On 13 December 2006,the Shanghai Higher People's Court rendered its final ruling in a case of dispute arising from infringement of copyright in computer software,holding that the plaintiff specially designed an output document for- mat for bundling its own developed application for use in the product it has made,and this act had gone beyond the scope of technological protection measures provided for in the Copyright Law,and that defendant's act of circumvent- ing the output data document format of said software was not an infringement.This is the first case of using technologi- cal protective measure for product bundle in China ever since the amended Copyright Law entered into force in 2001.The ruling is of far-reaching significance in guiding the courts to hear similar cases and for the orderly development of the related industry in China.
