Boeing is sued by shareholders following MAX 9 blowout
Boeing has been sued by shareholders who said the company prioritized profit over safety and misled them about its commitment to making safe aircraft, prior to the Jan. 5 mid-air cabin panel blowout on an Alaskan Airlines 737 MAX 9. According to a proposed class action filed on Tuesday, Boeing spent more than four years after the Oct. 2018 and March 2019 crashes of two other MAX planes, which killed 346 people, assuring investors that it was "laser-focused" on safety and would not sacrifice safety for profit. Shareholders said Boeing's statements were false and misleading because they concealed the "poor quality control" on its assembly line, and caused its stock price to be inflated.

Computer networking company Netgear has sued Huawei in California federal court, claiming the Chinese tech giant broke U.S. antitrust law by refusing to license its patents on reasonable terms. The complaint, filed late on Tuesday, also accused Huawei of fraud, racketeering and other offenses for allegedly withholding patent licenses for technology that Netgear's routers require in order to comply with international Wi-Fi networking standards. San Jose, California-based Netgear said Huawei misuses patent-infringement lawsuits to drive up its licensing rates, forcing other companies to "engage in costly litigation and face exclusion from the market or pay Huawei's exorbitant demands."
