But that's what happened to Lyme Regis publican Gail Caddy when she discovered developers had built a copy of the Rock Point Inn and Cobb Gate Fish Bar in Songjiang, a new city on the fringes of Shanghai.
She tells today's Telegraph she had considered suing:.
Everything has been completely copied, without anyone consulting me or giving me an explanation
The Shanghaiist blog has pictures of the two businesses, and the resemblances are striking, ranging from their names to details such as the gables over the windows.
