As an iconic sculpture of the city, the Spring Monument, which stands in the square of Jinan, has not been copyrighted in Jinan. After 8 years, it has finally changed. Recently, Mr. Wang Tianren, the designer of Spring Standard, has reached a copyright transfer agreement with the relevant units in Jinan, transferring all the property rights of works such as reproduction rights and distribution rights at one time.

It is reported that the Spring Beacon, which stands on the quancheng square, was built in August, 1999 and has become a symbol of Jinan. . At that time, this design won the bid in one fell swoop among 122 applications. However, in the commissioned design, production and installation contract signed at that time, the two parties did not agree on the copyright of "Spring Label". In accordance with the provisions of Article 17 of the Copyright Law, if the ownership of copyright is not clearly stipulated in the entrustment contract or no contract is concluded, the copyright belongs to the trustee. This means that Jinan only owns the tangible spring mark, but the use, development and income of intangible intellectual property rights such as spring mark are strictly restricted by law. According to the person in charge of quancheng square, the commercial exploitation of Quanbiao for many years will infringe the copyright of others, which will restrict the development of tourism and other related industries in Jinan more and more obviously. It is also difficult to protect the rights when illegal use is found, which will adversely affect the image of Jinan.

after learning about the situation, Mr. Wang Tianren gladly expressed his willingness to transfer the copyright of Quanbiao. According to the copyright transfer agreement reached between Wang Tianren and Franciscan Nanquanbiao Culture Communication Company, the copyright rights such as reproduction rights and distribution rights are all transferred to Jinan at one time. According to the analysis of relevant persons, this means that the copyright of Quanbiao has returned to Jinan to the maximum extent, and the transferee has the right to apply for trademark registration, use it by himself or authorize others to use it for various commercial and public purposes.
