    3Q software conflict forced users to choose, with subsequent lawsuits decided separately

    In 2010, the software dispute between Tencent and Qihoo 360 escalated, and QQ stopped service to users who installed 360 software, triggering disputes over the right to choose and compatibility. In the related litigation, in 2014 the Supreme People's Court found that 360 Koukou Bodyguard constituted unfair competition and ordered compensation of 5 million yuan to Tencent; in a separate case, it rejected Qihoo 360's appeal in its antitrust suit against Tencent. The conclusions of the two cases must not be conflated.
