 Sohu.com on Tuesday threatened to sue Google for violating its intellectual property rights, and renewed a demand for the company to stop downloads of a Chinese software tool based, in part, on one of its own databases."We are very sorry that a leading U.S. company like Google, which comes from a country that respects intellectual property rights, has exhibited a complete disregard for intellectual property in China," Sohu said. "We demand Google stop infringing on Sogou Pinyin Input Method Editor (IME) intellectual property and cease downloads and the operation of Google Pinyin IME, otherwise we will bring legal charges against Google," the statement said. A Google China spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Earlier, the company acknowledged it had used part of a Sohu database in its Pinyin IME, saying it was "inadvertenly" incorporated into the software. IMEs allow users to type Chinese characters using their Pinyin romanization equivalents, and are found on most computers in China.  News source: InfoWorld
