The legal dispute between Qihoo and Tencent continues. The second trial of Qihoo’s apeal against Tencent opened on Wednesday in the Supreme Court.
The first trial on Qihoo’s appeal against Tencent wrapped up last week. Qihoo lost the case in the High People’s Court of Guangdong Province in May. The legal dispute has been going on between the two Chinese IT companies, Tencent and Qihoo, over competition practices. It escalated in November 2010, when hundreds of millions of users were forced to choose sides in the dispute. It is the first anti-monopoly lawsuit in the Internet industry after the anti-monopoly law was released in 2008.
