Google, which is seeking to broaden its presence in China, on Monday apologized to Sohu.com, one of the country's major Web portals, for using third-party technology in its latest product launch.
Sohu said an investigation by its technicians found a method of typing in Chinese characters released by Google in China last week had copied a product by Sohu.
In response, Google said that the product had in its initial R&D stage been built "leveraging some non-Google database resources" but that Google had since upgraded the system.
