CGPA Takes Legal Action Against UBM: Suing the Host of GDC China for Unfair
Practices in Competition

Howell International Trade Fair Ltd. and the China Game Publishers Association (CGPA) today confirmed that CGPA has sued United Business Media LLC ("UBM", London Stock Exchange: UBM.L) in Beijing for unfair competition. CGPA, the host of the Second China Game Developers Conference ("CGDC"), demands that UBM, who hosts GDC China, immediately cease its unfair practices of competition. On the same day, Howell
International Trade Fair Ltd. sued UBM in Beijing for its violation of the intellectual property rights of the first CGDC event. Both two organizations' lawsuits demand UBM resolve any negative effects brought about by the said practices and violation activities, make an open apology, rehabilitate the reputation of CGDC's host and compensate for the economic losses it has suffered. (Howell International Trade Fair Ltd. partnered with CGPA as managers of the aforementioned Second China Game Developers Conference.)
