[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]In a high-profile case from Japan, a former Executive VP of Aichi Steel was found not guilty (at both trial and appeal) of leaking Aichi’s magnetic sensor trade secrets to one of Aichi’s business partners during a presentation.
该执行副总裁被指控违反了日本的《防止不正当竞争法》。 该法规定，商业秘密必须作为秘密加以控制，对企业有用，并且不为公众所知。 违反该法属于刑事犯罪，他已被警方逮捕！
在审判和上诉过程中，法院都认为所指控的商业秘密过于抽象和模糊，包含了广泛的通用技术知识，而不是定义明确。
这位前执行副总裁目前正在起诉爱知制铁，索赔 120 亿日元（约合 9100 万美元）！
This case is similar to many in US and Europe, where courts require a trade secret to be cleanly and clearly defined instead of being so vague as to encompass public knowledge.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][us_image image=”313″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
