US Court Gives Chinese Chipmaker Access to Micron’s Trade Secrets

2019/10/28

A landmark US economic espionage trial has allowed a Chinese chipmaker to review the trade secrets it is accused of stealing from US computer company Micron.
 
A US federal court ruled on October 23 that the Chinese company Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Company must be allowed review the documents in Hong Kong, despite strong protestations from Micron over supposed security risks.
 
According to Bloomberg, the US District Court for the Northern District of California heard during proceedings that "there is no meaningful difference" between the information-security risks in Hong Kong and China.
 
Micron reportedly told the court that, on a heatmap where trade secrets were at risk of being misappropriated by China, "Hong Kong would be off the charts".
