Tela Innovations, a California-based tech company, filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission charging that Lenovo, China largest PC supplier, exports products to the United States that infringe on its patents.
The Chinese PC manufacturer Lenovo said Thursday it will no longer pre-install the Superfish adware that has been denounced by cyber-security experts as making users vulnerable to hacking.
Lenovo’s multibillion dollar purchase of Motorola follows a recent trend, and a new directive by Chinese authorities, to purchase foreign companies in order to build the brands of China’s own state-run companies. The recent purchase could also bring new cyberthreats to Motorola devices built by Lenovo.
