Top Via execs indicted for industrial espionage
The Taipei District Public Prosecutors Office has accused the chairman and the CEO of Via Technologies, 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.
"We haven't received the indictment yet and there have been conflicting reports about what it actually involves," Brown said, noting that Via has been in communication with the prosecutors office. "The indictment should come in the mail over the next couple days."
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, 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.
