Netgear, a wi-fi company, has filed a counterclaim against rival TP-Link, accusing it of false advertising, Toms Hardware reports. Netgear alleges that TP-Link’s 2024
reincorporation as a California company conceals that its R&D and manufacturing are done in China. Last year, TP-Link accused Netgear of orchestrating a smear campaign against it, Tom’s
Hardware reports. It also claimed that Netgear’s statements breached a 2024 settlement that resulted in TP-Link paying Netgear $135 million to end long-running patent litigation. The
court has dismissed parts of TP-Link’s that were based on third-party statements. The U.S. Department of Defense last year added TP-Link to its list of Chinese military companies
operating in the U.S.
