An online store of the Palace Museum took one of their recently released cultural creative products off the market, the princess doll, on March 22, due to the controversial intellectual property. The official Taobao store of the museum published a statement on their homepage, saying that the dolls were pulled off the shelves because “the body of the doll resembles the product of a certain foreign brand.” The statement emphasized that the head of the doll was the designers' original, and there is no possibility of a similar one in the market. However, the intellectual property of the doll’s body part belongs to a cooperating factory, which has authorized the store to use it. Despite the controversy over the doll, many gave thumb-ups to the quick response of the store, as well as their attitude towards the intellectual property right.
