suspected of industrial espionage: Three top developers from HTC should have its own group spied – and wanted to provide the information alleged to Chinese competition
div.
three senior developers from the Taiwanese smartphone specialist HTC have been arrested on suspicion of industrial espionage. The Group’s normal business was going on, the company said.
The Vice Chief of the Research Division, Thomas Chien Chih-lin, as well as research and development director Wu Chien-hung, were arrested on Sunday. A third manager was again set at liberty on bail.
According to the court in Taipei HTC had complained in August about three employees.
HTC did not comment on the process and stressed in a statement only “. Protection of company property and the preservation and defense of intellectual property rights are key responsibilities for each employee”
The three developers should have intended to cooperate with Chinese companies and to take technology from HTC, the CNA news agency reported, citing the prosecutor.
HTC was a pioneer in the smartphone business, but recently lost market share. The Taiwanese are far behind the market leaders Samsung and Apple. Last year, the sales were in a booming market returns.
