"SISVEL is obviously repeating its old trick, and the objects of its raid are still mainly Chinese brands, especially those Chinese and other Asian countries' brands which perform well in the European market." On September 8th, Zhu Shuqin, deputy director of Haier Group Brand Management Department indignantly expressed. On August 29th, at the International Consumer Electronics Show (referred to as "IFA") in Berlin, Germany, German customs suddenly raided 69 companies' booths on the grounds of "possible patent infringement" and confiscated a large number of televisions, MP3 players, and mobile phones and other exhibits. According to the reporter's investigation, German customs' action this time was related to a report from an MP3 patent agency company SISVEL, which provided German customs with a list of companies that might infringe its patents just before the opening of IFA.
