Here is the lawsuit filing:

And here is the patent in question: #5,920,303

It appears to be a software patent (invalid in many countires except the US). I personally worked on a similar system in the early '80s, which was published in a journal that PRC certainly read. I'd have to dig out my copy of the article to see how closely the patent claims match the article.
