Shenzhen Tencent Computer System Co., Ltd., together with its main brunch Tencent Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., had recently followed up legal proceedings against the defendants OPPO Mobile Communications Co., Ltd.,, Huantai Technology Co., Ltd. and Xiangyi Schindler Technology Co., Ltd., for the cause of unfair competition. The case was heard by Wuhan Intermediate Court on October 19, and detailed updates are still unclear. 

In May this year, Tencent just brought Vivo, another domestic mobile phone manufacturer, to Jinan Intermediate Court, and the cause of action was also unfair competition on the Internet. Tencent accused Vivo of taking advantage of its underlying system to restrict users from downloading and installing apps through the MyApp platform of Tencent (known as 应用宝 in Chinese) by means of pop-up windows, text warning, cancel buttons and risk detection, and inducing users to download or install applications in Vivo's own application store, so as to gain more traffic and commercial benefits. 

This is not the first time Tencent has sued OPPO. In May 2017, Tencent complained to Wuhan Intellectual Property Trial Court that once the OPPO users downloaded "Tencent Mobile Manager", they would be forced to register OPPO accounts. The company believes that OPPO interferes with the normal operation of software by technical means, which constitutes unfair competition. Tencent had since then demanded the respondent to compensate 80 million yuan for the loss. Finally, after repeated communication enacted by the court, Tencent took the initiative to withdraw the lawsuit, and both parties shook hands and signed an agreement to further the cooperation.
