A trade secret case that shocked Songshan Lake was recently successfully cracked, involving the leakage of a company's global unlisted prototype, which plunged a precious business pearl into a crisis. The incident began in August, when the Economic Investigation Brigade of the Songshan Lake Public Security Bureau received a document showing that the physical products of a company's unlisted products had been leaked. This unlisted product can be described as the pride of a well-known brand, and the impact of the disclosure of its trade secrets is immeasurable.
After several rounds of meticulous investigation, ** gradually locked down several suspects who had a significant connection to the case, and one of the highly suspicious figures was the company's prototype production supervisor, which we called T. With the deepening of cross-provincial evidence collection, a series of evidence gradually surfaced, and behind T, several masterminds slowly emerged.
The mastermind of this case, whom we call K, and his accomplices C and others all had a history of counterfeiting and selling, and they were engaged in the peripheral processing of the goods involved, and in order to occupy the market, they conspired to steal this precious trade secret. T, on the other hand, with K's high bribes, provided a physical model for the gang and became a key figure in the case. After the incident, T even engaged in an open and covert battle with the investigators under the instigation of K.
The whole case went through a full three months of inter-provincial investigation and pursuit, and finally T, K and their accomplices were punished by law, and the case is still being further processed. In order to protect the reputation of the companies involved, we had to choose not to publish their names.
However, this case is not an isolated case. There are huge business interests behind it, and incidents like the theft of samplers are not uncommon. Apple and Foxconn have also been victims of this kind of incident, and the design drawings, models, engineering machines, and mass production machines of several generations of iPhones and iPads have been leaked to varying degrees.
As in this case, the business world is becoming more and more competitive, not only to deal with market competition, but also to be wary of commercial espionage from inside and outside. This case also reminds us of a puzzling thing. On August 29 last year, the Huawei Mate 60 series products were suddenly unveiled ahead of schedule, and they began to be sold without release through the "Pioneer Program". However, what is puzzling is that the initial amount of stock in the early stage of the sale is very small, and insiders say that "it is very well confidential", and there are different opinions about the reasons behind it. It wasn't until a month later at the autumn press conference that Huawei officially released this series of new products.
The outbreak and resolution of this case once again reminds us of the cruelty of the business world and the fierce competition. It is particularly important to protect and strengthen the protection of trade secrets to ensure that the company's core competitiveness is not violated. At the same time, it also reminds us that in business competition, we must follow the code of ethics and strive for success by legal means, rather than using unfair means to harm the interests of others. The story behind this case is full of thrills and drama, however, in the end, justice will eventually prevail, and protecting the cornerstone of business and the development of enterprises is always the most important mission.
