Top VIA Execs Indicted For Industrial Espionage

Posted by: [PM] on: 12/08/2003 04:24 PM [ Print | 2 comment(s) ] · 2050 views

The Taipei District Public Prosecutors Office has accused both the chairman and the chief executive officer of VIA Technologies Inc., a leading vendor of PC chipsets and other semiconductors, of copyright infringement and industrial espionage, a company executive confirmed on Monday. The prosecutors office has prepared an indictment that accuses VIA President and CEO Wenchi Chen and his wife, VIA Chairman Cher Wang, as well as VIA engineer Jeffrey Chang, of copyright infringement and industrial espionage, said Richard Brown, the company's associate vice president of marketing.



As far as VIA has been able to ascertain, the charges levelled against Chen, Wang and Chang in the indictment allege that the three conspired and stole technology from one of VIA's customers, networking equipment vendor D-Link Corp., Brown said. The prosecutor has asked for a four-year jail term for Wang and Chen and a three-year sentence for Chang, he said. All three are innocent of the charges, Brown said. Story continues at ITworld.com.

I think Via & Nvidia are holding hands jumping into the volcano! Both companies haven't a clue how to make a high quality competing product anymore so they are gonna resort to underhanded tactics.
