Incidents

IMPPH have been accused of violations of intellectual property rights on various occasions. In 2001, there appeared a book[4] with the imprint of IMPPH, whose author's pseudonym, title, cover art, and content bore a close resemblance to Han Han's Triple Doors;[5] however, a spokesperson for IMPPH denied that the company had actually printed those books, instead claiming that another party was misusing their name.[6] A 2004 article by the China Youth Daily also claimed that the IMPPH's 2001 book about chengyu[7] plagiarised roughly 500,000 words from a similar book[8] published four years earlier by the China Youth Press.[9]

In 2004, the IMPPH were also fined by the General Administration of Press and Publication for trading in book registration numbers.[10] They sold the book registration numbers to a publishing company in Jiangxi, enabling the latter to carry out illegal publication activities.[11]
