Anne Corporation

What Anne Corporation does

Anne Corporation is a Chinese A-share listed company (SZSE: 002235) founded in 1998 and headquartered in Xiamen, Fujian. The company operates across five business segments: anti-counterfeit traceability, digital copyright services, business information paper, lottery printing, and industry AI/computing services, serving a mix of government, enterprise, and individual creator/SMB customers. Its historical core is a national network spanning 11 provinces distributing 7,000+ SKUs of paper-based security and business products, including lottery printing contracts and anti-counterfeit labels.

Since 2016, Anne has pivoted toward blockchain-based digital copyright services, primarily through its Beijing Ban Quanjia (CopyrightJia) subsidiary, which operates a multi-chain platform covering text, image, music, and short video copyright registration. Underlying technology combines blockchain (including consortium memberships such as BSN and the DCI alliance), AI for NLP and computer vision, and big data analytics. In March 2019, Anne became the first A-share listed company to receive a blockchain information service filing from the Cyberspace Administration of China and subsequently led the development of a national blockchain evidentiary standard integrated with the Beijing and Hangzhou Internet Courts.

The business model combines B2B revenue from paper products, lottery printing, and anti-counterfeit solutions with transaction- or subscription-style revenue from copyright registration and evidentiary services. The 2015 acquisition of a 51% stake in Shenzhen Weimengxiang for RMB 96.39 million added a digital marketing services line. Anne has 251-500 employees, and strategic expansion is evidenced by the October 2019 establishment of a National Copyright Innovation Development Base in Qianhai (Greater Bay Area) and a 2019 IP partnership with the State Hermitage Museum.

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• China Literature (阅文集团): China Literature is the largest online literature platform in China, monetizing IP through licensing and derivative works. While it operates in a different content vertical, its IP licensing and copyright protection mechanisms for online literature are comparable to Anne Corporation's IP development and licensing pipeline (e.g., Jupai platform).

Direct peers

• Visual China Group (视觉中国): Visual China Group operates China's largest commercial visual content licensing platform, with deep overlap in image copyright registration, infringement monitoring, and licensing transactions. It is the closest publicly-listed Chinese peer in digital content copyright services and trading, sharing Anne Corporation's core customer segment of content creators and rights holders.
• Guanhao Hi-Tech (冠豪高新): Guanhao Hi-Tech is a major Chinese specialty paper manufacturer producing thermal paper, carbonless paper, and label materials — directly comparable to Anne Corporation's business information paper products. As a publicly listed A-share peer in the same niche, it represents a relevant comparable for valuation and segment performance.

Emerging players

• Hangzhou Fuzamei (复杂美): Fuzamei is a Chinese enterprise blockchain infrastructure provider that has developed blockchain applications across supply chain, finance, and digital assets. It competes with Anne Corporation's underlying blockchain stack in the broader Chinese permissioned blockchain market, though it is not focused specifically on copyright.
• Onchain (分布科技, Onchain DNA): Onchain is a Chinese blockchain infrastructure and digital asset company that has developed enterprise blockchain solutions and digital asset custody. Its focus on enterprise blockchain tooling partially overlaps with Anne Corporation's blockchain platform ambitions.
• Hyperchain Technology (趣链科技): Hyperchain is a leading Chinese enterprise blockchain platform serving financial institutions and government clients. It represents a credible competitor in permissioned blockchain infrastructure that could be applied to copyright and evidence preservation use cases, overlapping with Anne Corporation's blockchain layer.
• Beijing Egova (易华录): Egova is a Chinese listed technology company providing smart city, IoT, and data infrastructure services, with relevant overlap in anti-counterfeit traceability and supply chain integrity solutions that complement Anne Corporation's anti-counterfeit + blockchain stack.

Broad incumbents

• PKU Founder Group (北大方正) / Founder Technology: PKU Founder operates one of China's largest printing and publishing technology groups with overlapping businesses in digital publishing, anti-counterfeit printing, and content services. Its scale and state-backed ownership make it a relevant broad incumbent comparable to Anne Corporation's legacy printing and paper business.
• Tencent Zhiwen Chain (腾讯至信链): Tencent operates the Zhiwen Chain blockchain platform for evidence preservation, content rights, and digital asset management. As a major Chinese internet platform, Tencent has vastly greater distribution, R&D resources, and judicial relationships — making it a formidable incumbent competitor to Anne Corporation's CopyrightJia in serving enterprise copyright customers.
• Ant Group AntChain (蚂蚁链): Ant Group's AntChain is one of China's leading enterprise blockchain platforms with deep judicial and government integrations. It competes with Anne Corporation in blockchain evidence services and digital rights management, with vastly greater financial and engineering resources.
