Meizu in trouble... with M8 at Cebit / Hannover
Hi,

there are some news about Meizu within the German Heise Newsticker - saying that the meizu booth was closed by the German police because of product piracy - M8 too similar to the iPhone.

German: heise online - CeBIT special - Polizeiaktion gegen mutmaßliche Produktpiraten

Woah. That was dramatic. I know this is purely speculation, but I had been wondering for the past year when Apple was going to react to the M8... if this is at all how they do it, it was completely unexpected by me.

My trip to CeBIT is canceled. No interview for now. I'll give away 2 tickets for cheap! If you want them please visit the interview thread. It will be updated in 5 minutes with instructions on what to do...

A bad show for Meizu indeed...

Does this mean that they will miss all the other days? No chance of getting back?

If they were shut down but can defend themselves properly and prove they aren't breaking any patent/law, then there would be no reason into missing the entire CeBIT. However, a german detailed investigation that shows they are (or aren't) breaking any rules may on the other hand take longer than CeBIT itself .

Also, I don't think those Meizu people will give a convincing defensive chat in non-native English.....

German law is very strict. If they seize the booth I don't see Meizu getting back there within a week and that's all they have for CeBIT.

Authorities will most likely start an intensive investigation now.

Get my tickets here.

That wouldn't be a surprise; SISVEL is notorious for chasing down anyone they think is violating the patents they are charged with enforcing. They've gone after SanDisk on German soil before.
