Baidu Lost the Lawsuit against Sogou Browser

Previously, Baidu, Inc. (one of the most famous Chinese web services company) brought a lawsuit before the court suing that Sogou, Inc. (a subsidiary of China’s Internet giant Sohu) conducted unfair competition by “robbing” its data stream for the search service, and asked for the compensation of 1.11 million yuan. On February 4th, 2015, the Beijing Haidian People’s Court delivered the verdict on this case, announcing that the data stream “robbing” does not exist; however, Sogou, Inc. did conduct unfair competition and shall compensate 200,000 yuan to Baidu, Inc.
