- A U.S. startup company is accusing Chinese telecommunications gear provider Huawei of enlisting a Chinese university professor working on a research project to improperly access the startup’s technology, according to court documents filed last week.
California-based CNEX is developing technology to enhance the performance of solid-state drives in data centers and has been in a dispute with Huawei Technologies Co Ltd since 2017. In a new set of counterclaims filed in federal court in Texas last week, CNEX alleged that Bo Mao, a professor at Xiamen University, asked for one of the company’s circuit boards as part of a research project.
“Huawei took CNEX’s proprietary and trade secret information and shared it with the personnel developing Huawei’s controllers in violation of representations made to CNEX and restrictions placed on the distribution of CNEX’s technical information,” the startup said in the filing.Huawei’s gear has been largely shut out of the United States since 2012 over security concerns the technology could be used for espionage. The company has said the concerns are unfounded.
CNEX’s allegations last week are the latest in a trial dating to 2017. One of CNEX’s co-founders, Ronnie Huang, had worked for a Huawei subsidiary in Texas but left in 2013 and later helped found CNEX.
