Sinovel's first major overseas customer has been drawn into its long running $1.2 billion legal battle with AMSC. The case raises questions over whether further developers will be targeted when the Chinese company does business overseas. Brazilian utility and developer Desenvix signed a contract with Sinovel last September for 23 turbines of 1.5MW for its Barra dos Coqueiros project. It then filed court orders to determine if the turbines contained intellectual property allegedly stolen from AMSC, but dropped the action in August when it received confirmation that the turbine's control system technology is from US company Emerson Electric and that the software is a brand-new innovation developed by Sinovel and its partners, including Denmark's Mita-Teknik.
