Is there any hidden concern about IELTS copyright? A number of institutions have not been authorized by Cambridge

The film "Chinese partner", the most impressive is the EES and the dream of the Exposition. This paragraph has a realistic prototype-10 years ago, the new Oriental was sued by ETS, compensation for more than 3.7 million yuan. Now, this risk is placed in front of IELTS training institutions, many well-known institutions have not been authorized by the authorities. In 2001, the American Educational Examination Service (ETS) sued New Oriental, claiming that it had profited from selling TOEFL, GRE and GMAT exercises and review materials without authorization, claiming compensation of 1 million yuan (up to 30 million yuan). Beijing first trial of a Chinese court found that the new Oriental infringement of the facts, the decision to stop the infringement, to the ETS public apology, and compensation for 5 million yuan level reasonable costs 522,000 yuan. The new Oriental appealed to the higher People's Court, and the second instance upheld the tort judgment, but the compensation amount was reduced to 3.74 million yuan level lawsuit expense 22,000 yuan. Although the actual outcome is not as perfect as the film-Cheng Dongqing only Sansing won the respect and cooperation, the new Oriental lawsuit has played more than two years, the money also did not lose less. But for the new Oriental, a major hidden danger has been solved, paving the way for a few years to go public. But some peers may not be so fortunate, and the potential risks are with them. The industry revealed that the global IELTS and other training institutions have not been authorized by the Cambridge, that is, to carry out IELTS training, to provide Cambridge real problems and so on, this scenario and the new Oriental use of ETS similar content, there are some potential infringement. The IELTS test is jointly owned by the Foreign Language Examination Department of the Cambridge University Examination committee, the British Council and the IDP Education Group. The official website of IELTS Domestic examination is established in China. A senior IELTS teacher told the network that Cambridge and ETS do not do the same thing in content management, that IELTS does not develop the type of authorization that is similar to TOEFL or GRE, and that Cambridge has a more open mind on content usage. So although there is no official license/authorization, the IELTS institutions are not necessarily prosecuted. It is understood that domestic institutions can apply to become the IELTS test Partners, access to official promotional materials and preparation resources, joint marketing and so on. Partners are divided into platinum, gold, silver, copper grade four, currently a total of 52 institutions (including branches) to become the official IELTS partner. Multi-Knowledge Network to check the IELTS official website, its display currently platinum level, Gold Level partners only 7, respectively, is the Shenzhen SEG Talent Service Center, Beijing New Oriental, Hangzhou New Oriental, Shanghai Yangpu District, New Oriental Extension School, Shenyang School of Patterson, Shanghai Lang GE Training Center, Jiangsu Lang GE Training Center. Global IELTS and other well-known IELTS training institutions are not in its list. People familiar with the matter said that the copyright has been a loss of the new Oriental, deliberately purchased from Cambridge Sword One to nine of the copyright. Will other IELTS firms repeat the mistakes of the new Oriental and ETS? It depends on whether the Cambridge and IDP will be diverted to the idea of content management.
