Once the Boiling 3Q war finally ended

Yesterday (September 29) afternoon, the Beijing Second Intermediate People's Court announced Tencent (Tencent Holdings: 00700). HK) v. "360 Privacy Protector" The final judgment of the infringement case is upheld by the first instance.

According to the first-instance judgment of Beijing's Chaoyang District Court in April this year, the behavior of Peking Qihoo, Chi-chi software and the three infinite three Qihoo 360 related companies constituted unfair competition, and sentenced three companies to cease infringement. Meanwhile, three companies need to make a public statement in the home page of the 360 website and the law daily to eliminate the impact and compensate the plaintiff Tencent's economic loss of 400,000 yuan within 30 days of the decision.

However, Qihoo 360 has always been a loser, then issued a statement insisted that their actions on the whole have factual basis, but "may not be in the wording to grasp the good yardstick."

On the court's verdict, Tencent responded: "Thanks to the court for a fair verdict, it clarifies the criticisms we have suffered." Tencent said it would donate the compensation to the Charitable fund.

At the end of last year, the Qihoo 360 said Tencent had scanned the user's hard drive, violated user privacy, and provided special tools to unload or contain some of Tencent's QQ features. Then the threat of Tencent to implement a counterattack, so that users between the two make "two choose one" choice, history called "3Q War."

"3Q War" after the outbreak, due to the spread of the Internet users are very wide, alarmed the Ministry of Mediation, ordered both sides to accept the sound, and apologized to the user.

In China's internet industry, Qihoo 360 appears to be somewhat "alternative". In addition to the "3Q War", Qihoo 360 has several times and the major Internet companies broke "war of words", respectively, Baidu and Jinshan and other companies to sue unfair competition or discredit goodwill, Qihoo 360 were ultimately awarded a lawsuit. But these do not seem to affect the Qihoo 360 Word-of-mouth, and the popularity of climbing, and successfully achieved the U.S. listing.

The industry is worried that, according to the past several odd Tiger 360 after losing the "do not admit the wrong" performance, the award to Tencent public apology and compensation, it seems that some difficulties to achieve. "Maybe another show will go on. "said an internet observer who declined to be named.
