What would be one of the more embarrassing things that could happen to iPhone knock-off maker Meizu during the largest tech show in the world?
If you guessed have their booth shut down by police and their equipment and literature confiscated, you’re right.
People passing the Meizu booth now are being told that “the venue is closed until further notice.”
What’s going on?
The reason for the police was piracy, but no specific info has been released yet…stay tuned…
UPDATE: A little more info has come out…initially the move was believed to be at the request of Apple for patent and copyright violation over the MiniOne iPhone knock-off, but its actually the result of a license problem for one of Meizu’s other music players. Meizu isn’t saying which of their products was the problem, but they have re-occupied their booth. Thanks, Electronista.
