Cops Shut Down Meizu's CeBIT Booth for Ripping Off Apple




From Gizmodo -

China-based Meizu, manufacturer of the M8 iPhone ripoff, was among a number of exhibitors who had their Cebit booths temporarily closed down by the Criminal Hanover. The closures were part of a major police operation against possible patent violations at CeBIT.

The immediate assumption was centered on the M8, which does the original better, with specs that include quad-band GSM/EDGE, 802.11b/g, Bluetooth, a 3.4" touch screen and a 3MP camera. However, in an update, it was revealed the closure stemmed from MP3-licensing issues, which has seen been resolved. Meizu's booth reopened afterwards.
