江蘇貧困縣阜甯縣投資百萬修建山寨版世博中國館。對於網上質疑聲，阜寧縣政府新聞辦回應稱，中央沒有禁止的，都是可以做的；這個雕塑是應群眾要求建設的，目的是弘揚世博文化精神，展示阜寧新形象，不存在侵權一說。
為迎接奧運而在北京建設的鳥巢，在前年大放異彩，由此各地衍生了不少山寨版的鳥巢建築。而今，2010年上海世界博覽會即將隆重開幕，中國館也倍受矚目；但是，與此前的山寨鳥巢不同的是，江蘇阜寧縣政府撥款350萬建設了個山寨版中國館，在網上引起了不小的波瀾。
對此，阜寧縣政府新聞辦回應稱，中央沒有禁止的，都是可以做的；這個雕塑是應群眾要求建設的，目的是弘揚世博文化精神，展示阜寧新形象，不存在侵權一說，既沒佔用耕地，也沒耗資千萬，目前投資不超過100萬；網上有爭議是可以理解的，是正常的質疑，不會追究發帖人的責任。

Recently, an Internet post claimed that a large piece of farmland at the intersection of National Expressway 209 and Provincial Route 329 in Funing county, Jiangsu province has been taken over for the purpose of constructing a plaza. At the center of this plaza was a copy of the China Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo. It was claimed that this red building was 24 meters tall and the square platform on top was 43 meters by 43 meters. The whole structure was largely similar in structure, color and appearance to the China Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo.
At the local Funing Internet forums, this building was a popular subject for discussion. People were angry that this building used up 600 tons of high-grade steel while taking over a large piece of farmland. Other people made it clear that they were angry with this ill-advised expenditure because it was an image project with no conceivable utility. There are others who thought that this plaza will be a landmark (soon to be surrounded by commercial buildings) for the people of Funing, which was otherwise completely buried in unsightly poverty.
Is this true?
On the afternoon of April 28, the Xiaoxiang Morning News reporter searched the Internet and located the bid request for project BNX20100100501-02, which included the project location, the price, the source of funding, the method of contract awarding, the bidder qualifications etc. This project has been approved by the relevant government departments, the funding comes from the government and the price is about 3.5 million yuan for the project to be completed in 80 days.
The Xiaoxiang Morning News reporter then contacted the company which managed the bidding process. A worker there said that the county needed an imitation copy of the China Pavilion in order to welcome the World Expo. The specifications came from the government departments. The project was awarded before the Lunar New Year and construction is presently in progress.
On the afternoon of April 28, the Xiaoxiang Morning News reporter contacted the Funing County Planning Bureau. A worker there said that he knew nothing about the reason, the costs, the land ownership or intellectual property rights of the project. He quoted a statement from the project director named Wu: "I don't know."
The Xiaoxiang Morning News reporter then contacted the Funing county government information office. Deputy director Zhou Kong said that this scaled down sculpture China Pavilion was built to meet the demands of the masses for the purpose of bringing honor to the cultural spirit of the World Expo. The land was previously fallow and not some farmland as alleged. According to Zhou Kong, the total cost of the project was less than 1 million yuan and the project was scheduled to be completed on or about May 20."
"Besides, where is an impoverished county going to come up with 10 million yuan? The Internet figure is wrong. But we won't hold the netizen accountable for the inaccuracy." Zhou Kong said that the majority of the local people approve of this project because the county does not have any landmark building. This new sculpture will become a landmark right off the National Expressway intersection. He said that even though Funing county is classified as an "impoverished" county, it is better off than many of the other places in Anhui province. "The skeptical netizens are just a small number of people who don't know the truth."
When asked about intellectual property violations, Zhou Kong said that they had not consider this issue beforehand. But they have consulted experts who said that their sculpture (which has no interior content) is only an image and therefore not an intellectual property violation.
"Anything not disallowed by the central government can be done. Since the leaders say that the Shanghai World Expo is also the World Expo for all Chinese persons, we built a sculpture to show our participation in the World Expo." Zhou Kong said.
On the afternoon of April 28, Xiangtan University Institute of Intellectual Property Rights associate professor Liu Youhua was interviewed by the Xiaoxiang Morning News reporter. He said that according to Chinese law, any uniquely created architecture is an intellectual property that is protected under the law. The Funing county sculpture is a reproduction of the China Pavilion of the Shanghai World Expo and is therefore an IPR violation.
Professor Liu said that even if the Shanghai World Expo declines to seek legal redress, the action by Funing county should be criticized in terms of urban planning and brand building because it was disrespectful towards creativity, innovation and intellectual property rights.
網帖稱阜寧耗資千萬建山寨世博中國館
近日，網上出現一篇附帶圖片的爆料帖，稱江蘇阜寧縣縣城城南204國道和329省道交匯處，一大片田地被佔用，建成了占地面積約4萬平方米的市民廣場。廣場中央一座酷似上海世博會中國館的建築初見雛形，政府投資上千萬。不少網友稱建這樣的形象工程沒實際用途，太燒錢了。
帖子描述說，這座紅色的建築高24米，四方形的平臺邊長50米。上部是四方冠形結構，外頂部邊長43米，其6層架空層全部為鋼架結構；下面還有四個鋼筋混凝土大立柱。整個建築在結構、色調和外形等方面都和世博會中國館相似。
在場人員介紹，這座永久性建築是作為城市形象標誌而出現的。施工設計圖顯示，建築專案名稱為“阜寧縣規劃局雕塑”，是常州市某建築設計公司設計的。工程於今年2月份開工，目前正在加班加點，爭取在五一前竣工。
在阜寧縣當地網站論壇上，許多當地網友議論紛紛，有人稱這“中國館”用了優質鋼材就有600噸，可惜的是，還有大片農民糊口的土地被用來“養眼”了。更有人毫不含糊地怒斥到，這錢燒得太冤枉了，因為根本沒有實際用途，純粹是形象工程。
當然，也有當地網友不以為然。他們認為阜寧缺少很多公益性的建築，缺少很多能讓百姓茶餘飯後走一走、看一看的地方，這個建築周圍還會建設一個廣場，沒商務樓、商品房，只是給這座縣城多一絲亮色，從裡到外窮得都是破棉襖似的供人觀瞻不好。
工程招標公告顯示政府投資350萬元
網帖所言是否屬實？4月28日下午，瀟湘晨報記者先是在網上進行了搜索，在阜寧縣政府官方網站上查到了一份建設工程項目招標公告。即：G204與S329道路交叉口雕塑專案，專案編號：BNX20100100501-02。公告發佈日期為1月22日，內容包括專案位址、造價、資金來源、發包方式及投標申請者資格條件等。
招標公告提到，雕塑項目已經有關部門批准建設，工程所需資金是政府撥款，雕塑項目基礎為預製砼管樁，另有承台、圍護牆、欄杆、臺階等，工程造價約150萬元，工期20天，雕塑專案上部鋼結構、裝修及燈光亮化工程造價約200萬元，工期60天。
隨後，瀟湘晨報記者與招標代理機構(鹽城市水木華羽招標代理有限公司)取得了聯繫。一位工作人員介紹說，那地方確實有一個仿造的世博中國館。為的是迎接世博，是政府部門要求按照這種設計建造的。春節前夕招標就結束了，都是根據招標書來的，工程造價等什麼的記不清了。目前工程已經進入了施工階段了。
官方稱為弘揚世博文化，此前沒考慮侵權
4月28日下午，瀟湘晨報與江蘇阜寧縣規劃局取得了聯繫。對於為什麼要建設該專案、工程實際造價多少、是否佔用耕地及有無擔心侵權等問題，阜寧縣規劃局規劃科一工作人員稱不知情，並轉述了負責該工程的規劃科吳科長的說法，即“不知道”。另外，規劃局辦公室工作人員也稱，不知道為什麼要建這個項目。
接著，記者聯繫了阜寧縣政府新聞辦，周康副主任說，應群眾要求，建設這個縮小版的世博中國館，目的是弘揚世博文化精神，選擇的地方是一塊閒置的綠地，並非耕地。據周康瞭解，目前工程花錢不超100萬，預計5月20日左右竣工。
“再說了，一個貧困縣哪裡來上千萬的錢啊，網上說的資料不真實，但不會追求發帖人的責任”。周康對瀟湘晨報滾動新聞記者說，對這個工程，本地人絕大部分是贊成的，因為阜寧沒一個標誌性建築，而這個建築能填補這個空白，而在國道省道交叉口能很好地展示阜寧形象。
周康說，阜寧縣雖然說的是貧困縣，但比起安徽部分地區，也是沿海開放富裕地區，網上發表質疑的只是個別不瞭解真相的人。
在版權方面，周康解釋說，先前沒有考慮這個問題，但是後來諮詢過相關專家，專家說建造的只是一個雕塑，充其量只能說象形，不存在侵權一說。
“中央沒有禁止的都可以做，而且有上級領導說上海世博會是全國人民的世博會，我們建這個雕塑是參與世博的一種表現。”周康說。
法學專家：山寨中國館涉嫌侵犯著作權(南方都市報 http://www.nddaily.com/ 南都網)
4月28日下午，湘潭大學智慧財產權學院劉友華副教授接受了瀟湘晨報記者的採訪。他表示，依據《中華人民共和國著作權法》，具有獨創性的建築作品是受法律所保護的作品。阜寧這種建造山寨“中國館”的行為，即便是雕塑，也是對上海世博會中國館這一特定建築作品的複製，是一種涉嫌侵害著作權的行為。
劉友華副教授還表示，依據《中華人民共和國專利法》，上海世博“中國館”具有美感的設計可以成為外觀設計專利保護的客體。因此，只要上海世博局就此申請了外觀設計專利，而阜寧山寨“中國館”在結構、色調和外形等方面都與世博“中國館”相似，無疑將構成侵犯外觀設計專利權的違法行為。(南方都市報 http://www.nddaily.com/ 南都網)
劉友華副教授還說，退一步講，即使上海世博局在法律層面不追究該行為，從城市建設規劃和品牌建設的角度，這種山寨行為也不值得提倡，也不可能用來養眼，也是一種不尊重創新和智慧財產權的行為。 (本文來源：紅網-瀟湘晨報 作者：耿紅仁)
