Abstract

It has long been a highly controversial issue as to whether deep linking constitutes a making available to the public. Chinese courts have two main ways of interpreting this: the server test and the substantive substitution test. Beijing Intellectual Property Court adopted the server test and ruled that deep linking does not constitute a making available in the recent landmark decision: Tencent case. The court also stated that deep linking might involve joint copyright infringement, unfair competition or circumvention of technological measures.
