A LAW SUIT started in a New York district court with Lenovo Singapore suing Clevo for infringing patents and a breach of contract.

Lenovo alleges that Taiwanese firm Clevo had a deal with IBM which it inherited in which it paid annual licence fees for products. But Clevo didn't shell out its $3 million 2006 payment, it's alleged, while it owes $41,000 plus for a portion of 2007.

It's alleged that Clevo is in breach of patents 5,548,763 and 5,513,359 by selling products called MobilNote and PortaNote products.

Lenovo wants its money, damages, and a declaration its patents have been breached. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
