The big CeBIT patent bust
We've been raided, apparently. It seems that 180 cops have visited 51 CeBIT stands that had allegedly patent-infringing products on show, and carted away 68 boxes of various gadgetry.
No-one's being named, but apparently the companies had been warned "in good time" by the patent holders.
Can't say I noticed this massive swoop, but then again the CeBIT site is miles across. I'll keep an eye out for police tape...
In case you missed it, btw, here's a round-up of some of the stuff we did manage to notice - more round-ups coming soon...
