The first-instance verdict in the case of Zunpai infringing upon Huawei Hisilicon's chip technology trade secrets has come into effect, as none of the 14 defendants have appealed. The case revolved around Zhang and others who illicitly acquired Hisilicon chip technology information worth 317 million yuan. Zhang, formerly the head of Hisilicon's RF chip development department, established Zunpai after leaving the company. He then recruited several individuals and employed unethical methods to obtain Hisilicon's technology information for the development of similar chips.
