长江商报消息 ●长江商报记者 黄聪 两家电解液材料上市公司"打假"，天赐材料（002709.SZ）的"技术保卫战"发酵，永太科技 （002326.SZ）的"名誉护卫战"开打。 7月3日，天赐材料公告称，全资子公司九江天赐作为原告，就商业秘密侵权纠纷案件向江西省高级人民 法院提起民事诉讼，涉案被告为另一上市公司永太科技等12名相关方，法院已于近日立案受理。 7月4日晚，永太科技迅速回应称，公司及控股子公司永太高新就天赐材料侵害公司及控股子公司名誉权 的行为，分别提起民事诉讼，公司索赔5751.93万元，法院也已立案受理。 永太科技以不正当手段获取技术？ 这场"互诉"涉及的索赔额达9.44亿元。究竟是永太科技涉嫌技术窃密，还是天赐材料利用商业诋毁不当 竞争？目前双方各执一词。 7月3日，天赐材料发布公告显示，公司全资子公司九江天赐高新材料有限公司（以下简称"九江天赐"） 作为原告，就商业秘密侵权纠纷案件向江西省高级人民法院提起民事诉讼，涉案被告为永太科技及其控 股子公司邵武永太高新材料有限公司（以下简称"永太高新"）等12名相关方，江西省高级人民法院已于 近日立案受理。 九江天赐成立于2007年10月30日，拥有 ...

华夏时报记者 夏高琴 南京报道 7月以来，两家锂电材料上市企业天赐材料（002709）（002709.SZ）与永太科技（002326） （002326.SZ）的商业秘密纠纷迅速发酵，已从刑事判决延伸至民事战场。 日前，天赐材料公告称，公司全资子公司九江天赐就商业秘密侵权纠纷案件，向江西省高院提起民事诉 讼，对包括李胜、永太科技及其控股子公司邵武永太等12个被告提起总计8.87亿元的索赔。 天赐材料起诉永太科技等12名相关方"窃密" 7月2日晚间，天赐材料公告称，全资子公司九江天赐作为原告，就商业秘密侵权纠纷案件向江西省高级 人民法院提起民事诉讼，涉案被告为另一上市公司永太科技、九江天赐前员工等12名相关方。永太科技 则迅速回应称，公司可能涉及诉讼，但尚未收到任何相关诉讼材料。从天赐材料提供的情况来看，正是 液体六氟磷酸锂相关技术遭到商业秘密侵权。 天赐材料称，李胜在离职后违反保密义务，与永太科技等相关方达成合作，将不正当手段非法获取的九 江天赐液体六氟磷酸锂工艺技术资料，运用在了邵武永太高新材料有限公司年产13.4万吨液体锂盐产业 化项目中。其中提到，李胜获取违法所得共计428.504万元，郑飞龙获取违法所得 ...

被天赐材料提起商业秘密侵权诉讼后，永太科技（SZ002326，股价12.16元，市值112.53亿元）迅速做出"反击"。 （新闻链接：《索赔8.87亿元，天赐材料子公司就商业秘密侵权纠纷起诉永太科技等永太科技回应称一直尊重他人知识产权》） 7月3日晚间，永太科技公告称，公司及控股子公司邵武永太高新材料有限公司（以下简称"邵武永太"）分别向天赐材料（SZ002709，股价18.95元，市值 362.77亿元）提起诉讼，称对方侵害公司名誉权，要求赔偿共计5751.93万元。 来源：永太科技公告 天赐材料曾宣称，公司前员工李胜为了获利，伙同他人与永太科技等达成合作协议，最终导致非法获取的天赐材料液体六氟磷酸锂工艺技术资料被运用在了 邵武永太年产13.4万吨液体锂盐产业化项目中。 对此，永太科技于7月2日和3日连发两条公告称，公司目前仅生产固态六氟磷酸锂产品，尚未生产销售案件所涉的液态六氟磷酸锂产品；永太科技、邵武永 太没有从李胜处直接购买天赐材料的商业秘密；天赐材料所称的侵权产线、技术均是永太科技自行研发，不存在侵害商业秘密情形。 永太科技表示，天赐材料多次利用媒体对公司实施商誉诋毁等侵权行为。永太科技讲述了多个事 ...

在永太高新看来，天赐材料起诉永太科技及公司的目的是为了抢占市场，"给公司名誉造成了严重影 响，并引起了相关公司股票的震荡，造成公司巨大的经济损失。" 此前，天赐材料于7月2日晚间宣布，其子公司九江天赐就商业秘密侵权纠纷案件向江西省高级人民法院 提起民事诉讼，起诉永太科技、永太高新等，被告包括企业和自然人合计12人。 在公告中，天赐材料表示，相关案件被告人李胜违反保密义务，伙同郑飞龙与永太科技、何人宝达成合 作协议后，永太科技、永太高新等将其非法获取的九江天赐液体六氟磷酸锂工艺技术资料，运用于永太 高新年产13.4万吨液体锂盐产业化项目（下称"13.4万吨液体锂盐项目"）中。 九江天赐合计提出了7条诉讼请求。其中包括判令12名被告共同赔偿原告的经济损失8.87亿元并公开道 歉等。 永太科技去年1月曾披露，13.4万吨液体锂盐项目（首期年产6.7万吨）已完成设备安装调试工作，开始 了试生产。7月2日晚，永太科技发布公告回应天赐材料时透露，公司目前仅生产固态六氟磷酸锂产品， 尚未生产销售上述案件所涉（液体锂盐）产品。 A股两大锂电材料巨头的纠纷进一步发酵。 7月3日晚，永太科技（002326）公告称，公司及控股子公 ...

据介绍，该项目由被告四王国超、被告五邵鸿鸣具体负责，并由被告十浙江美阳国际工程设计有限公司进行项目产线设计，并由被告六上海桦置工程科技有 限公司（该公司由郑飞龙、被告八姜存华与何人宝成立，实控人为何人宝）承接项目部分。 基于江西省九江市濂溪区人民法院已做出的一审《刑事判决书》所审查查明的事实及原告掌握的被告实施的侵权行为，九江天赐认为，被告具有明显的侵权 故意，应就其共同侵权行为承担连带赔偿责任。因此，九江天赐依法向法院提起诉讼，请求判令被告立即停止侵害技术秘密信息的行为，销毁侵权项目中的 生产产线设备及生产工艺资料，销毁承载商业秘密的专用设备、存储设备及工艺资料，共同赔偿经济损失及律师费用，并在相关媒体上赔礼道歉，消除影 响。 天赐材料表示，因本次诉讼事项中公司的全资子公司作为原告，预计不会对公司当期损益产生直接的负面影响。但因本案尚未开庭审理，亦不排除在审理过 程中达成和解或进行调解的可能，公司目前尚无法判断本次公告的诉讼对公司期后利润的影响。公司将密切关注本次诉讼事项的后续进展情况，并按照相关 规定履行信息披露义务。 天赐材料作为一家在行业内具有重要影响力的企业，此次提起的诉讼不仅是为了维护自身的合法权 ...

每经记者｜孔泽思 每经编辑｜文多 天赐材料一方因此认为，上述主体具有明显的侵权故意，侵权规模及获益巨大。 公告中，九江天赐提出的诉讼请求包括，判令邵武永太销毁年产13.4万吨液体锂盐产业化项目中利用九 江天赐技术秘密建设的生产线设备及生产工艺资料；判令12个被告停止侵害原告技术秘密信息的行为； 判令12个被告共同赔偿8.87亿元等。 天赐材料表示，九江天赐就商业秘密侵权纠纷案件主张赔偿权利，预计不会对公司当期损益产生直接的 负面影响。但因案件尚未开庭审理，不排除在审理过程中达成和解或进行调解的可能，公司目前无法判 断此诉讼对公司期后利润的影响。 7月2日晚间，天赐材料方面向《每日经济新闻》记者表示，公司的液体六氟磷酸锂技术比较独特，目前 此案件中还有其他待起诉的主体，公司正在收集证据。"取证确实不容易，其他很多公司也有类似的侵 权事件，只是没有我们这样的决心。"公司方面称。 天赐材料（SZ002709）的一起商业秘密侵权纠纷有了新情况。 7月2日晚间，天赐材料公告称，公司全资子公司九江天赐高新材料有限公司（以下简称九江天赐）就商 业秘密侵权纠纷案件，向江西省高院提起民事诉讼，被告涉及李胜、永太科技（SZ002 ...
