Park accused of infringing IP rights of Terracotta Army

A cultural park in Anhui province that has produced hundreds of full-scale replicas of Terracotta Army soldiers has been accused of infringing the intellectual property rights of the real Terracotta Army, which are owned by Emperor Qingshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum in Xi'an, Shaanxi province.

The 5,000-Year Cultural Expo Park in Taihu county of Anhui's Anqing city has made hundreds of replicas of Terracotta Army soldiers and horses that have been open to public viewing since 2011. The replicas are placed in a pit, just like the real Terracotta Army figures at the museum in Shaanxi.

The Terracotta Army is a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of the first emperor of China during the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC).
