Question – Former Samsung Engineer Gets 7 Years in Prison After Selling Core DRAM Secrets to China’s CXMT for $2 Million

Mixed feeling. I like most of my Samsung products and wouldn’t want them to do less than flourish due to Chinese products undercutting them whether they are using stolen IP or not, but on the other hand, for the consumer, more, higher quality DRAM in the market right now would be a good thing.

Companies should be able to protect their IP investments and get ROI, but then I don’t think that IP should be protected as long as it is in many cases, and it is an unfair advantage to companies massive enough that they have employees who aren’t even actually inventing something, just trying to reserve the IP of the more obvious portions of upcoming tech.
