Cybersitter, a small U.S. maker of Web security and content filtering software, is suing the Chinese government, two Chinese firms, and seven PC makers over the use of its code in the Green Dam Youth Escort program.
According to news reports, the $2.2 billion lawsuit accuses the defendants of misappropriating trade secrets, unfair competition, copyright infringement, and conspiracy.
The lawsuit, filed in a federal court in Los Angeles, alleges that the Chinese makers of Green Dam illegally copied more than 3,000 lines of code from Cybersitter's filtering software.
