（文/观察者网 吕栋 编辑/张广凯） "人员整编制挖角"、"白天在华为，晚上在尊湃"、"内外勾结窃取保密信息"、"伪造离职假象"......骇人听闻的"尊湃窃取华为芯片商业秘密案"细节曝光，该 案致使14人被判刑。依据现有信息复盘，这个窃密团伙可能在成立尊湃之前，就在谋划非法牟利的犯罪行为。 8月8日，观察者网从接近案件的人士处获悉，早在2020年底，窃密案首犯张琨（美国籍）就先拉拢了其在华为海思的原下属刘某，随后又拉拢周某、周某 和顾某某等人，形成了一个WIFI芯片核心高管团队，再由这些人对原华为产品端到端人员整编制挖角，涉及芯片的射频、SoC、数字、算法、解决方案、 封装等各个环节，员工共近百人。 2021年初，尊湃正式成立，对外称专注WIFI6芯片研发和生产，创业第一年海思前员工占比高达60%。 当然，这些海思前员工并非一次性加入尊湃。为了掩人耳目、里应外合，他们分批离职，多人在职华为期间，周末到尊湃工作；周某、周某和王某某，甚 至白天在华为，晚上去尊湃。 知情人士对观察者网透露，这些离职员工为了规避华为的竞业限制协议和其他风险，甚至改了名字，比如高管周某化名胡某，高管顾某某化名杜某某，王 某某化名王某 ...

如今随着法院的宣判，尊湃科技侵犯华为芯片技术商业秘密案尘埃落定。 风险提示及免责条款 市场有风险，投资需谨慎。本文不构成个人投资建议，也未考虑到个别用户特殊的投资目标、财务状况或需要。用户应考虑本文中的任何 意见、观点或结论是否符合其特定状况。据此投资，责任自负。 据此前警方通报，经查，2021年2月，华为海思原高管张某、刘某等人为牟取非法利益，在离职后设立 某科技公司，以支付高薪、股权利诱等方式，诱导多名原公司研发人员跳槽至其公司，并指使这些人员 在离职前通过摘抄、截屏等方式非法获取权利公司芯片技术信息，抄袭并运用于张某公司设计的同类型 芯片上，企图以此非法牟利。 经鉴定，侵权芯片技术有40个技术点与原商业秘密的密点具有90%以上同一性，构成实质性相同。张某 团伙的窃密行为，导致权利公司商业秘密灭失，应根据该项商业秘密的研究开发成本、实施该项商业秘 密的收益等商业价值来认定造成的权利公司损失。 2023年12月，公众号"上海经侦ECID"发文称，在公安部的指挥部署下，在江苏警方的大力配合下，上 海警方成功侦破一起侵犯芯片技术商业秘密案，抓获犯罪嫌疑人14名，查扣存储侵权芯片技术的服务器 7台。 近日，上海市 ...
