Plagiarism controversy

On 28 February, lawyers from another Chinese automaker, Changan Automobile accused Geely of copyright infringement, sending Geely a cease-and-desist letter and alleging that the Geely Galaxy Light concept car took multiple design features from several Changan vehicles. Geely have refuted the claims and threatened legal action against Changan in response to what it labelled "misinformation".^[8][9]
