Building Design dispute in China: Replica building?

18/2/2013 | Zaha Hadid, a famous architecture, has designed the building called Wangjing SOHO complex (left picture). About the same time but in a different city, the building called Meiquan 22nd Century has been build (right picture). These two building are somewhat very similar and Ms. Hadid already prepared herself for legal action in court. Chinese lawyers believe that Ms. Hadid has a great chance to win the case and to receive monetary compensation. However, the infringing building is unlikely to be destroyed.
