The mainland-based China Written Works Copyright Society (CWWCS) signed a reciprocal agreement with Taiwan-based Chinese Oral and Literary Copyright Collective Management Association (COLCCMA). According to the agreement, from 2011, the COLCCMA will collect royalties from Taiwan's universities and copy shops for duplicating works of mainland authors.

The reciprocal agreement is an importance practice on the IPR cooperation between the two sides, said Fu Zhaoxiang, Board of COLCCMA. The COLCCMA has been a member of IFRRO, and China is ready to sign the agreement of its kind with associations of other countries and regions.
