Title: Netgear Accused by Rival of China Smear To Fan Security Fear

Link: https://yro.slashdot.org/story/25/11/19/13502...

An anonymous reader shares a report: California-based TP-Link says it may
take a sales hit of more than $1 billion because of erroneous reports that
the networking company's technology has been "infiltrated" by Beijing. In a
lawsuit, TP-Link claims its competitor, Netgear, orchestrated a smear by
planting false claims with journalists and internet influencers with the goal
of scaring off customers. Closely held TP-Link, which makes wireless routers,
alleges in a complaint filed Monday that Netgear's campaign "threatens injury
to well over a billion dollars in sales" and violates a 2024 settlement of a
patent fight. That accord, in which TP-Link agreed to pay Netgear $135
million, includes a provision that the public company promises not to
disparage its rival, according to the suit in Delaware federal court. The
suit comes as TP-Link faces growing scrutiny in Washington over national-
security issues. US lawmakers from both parties have expressed concern that
TP-Link's wireless equipment could be exploited by Chinese hackers following
a series of attacks on its routers.
