China South Publishing takes minority stake in IPR License

Frankfurt, 30th August: Last month, China South Publishing & Media Group (CNS), a leading publishing and media group in China, announced that the company had bought a minority stake in IPR License, a global rights and licensing trading platform. Financial details of the transactions were not disclosed.
