LeCaddie writes "On Thursday (March 6) German investigators raided 51 exhibitor stands at CeBIT, the German information technology fair in Hanover, looking for goods suspected of infringing patents. Some 183 police, customs officers and prosecutors raided the fair on Wednesday and carried off six cartons of electronic goods and documents including cellphones, navigation devices, digital picture frames and flat-screen monitors. Of the 51 companies raided, 24 were Chinese, including three from Hong Kong, 12 from Taiwan, nine from Germany and one each from Poland, the Netherlands and Korea. Most of the patents concerned were related to devices with MP3, MP4 and DVB standard functions for digital audio and video, blank CDs and DVD copiers, police said."
