As Gordon Ramsay would say, “Shut it down!”. That is just what German officials did to the Meiuzu booth at CeBIT today after complaints from Sisvel of Mp3 infringement. The officials were seen removing product and literature from the booth advising the booth was temporarily out of commission.
If these reports are true, (and when has Engadget ever been wrong?) it seems to be over Sisvel’s claim of licensing payment due to them. The licensing of the codec seems like an awfully tangled mess to get my simpleton head around, suffice to say Sisvel had a similar shutdown and confiscation run in with Sandisk at IFA last year.
More as it breaks.
