LG化學(xué)和SK創(chuàng)新訟訴的部分內(nèi)容

韓國(guó)兩家動(dòng)力電池企業(yè) LG 化學(xué)與 SK Innovation 的矛盾，之前是有報(bào)道：LG 化學(xué)在電池供應(yīng)商上面，如果大眾汽車選擇 SK 創(chuàng)新則，不保證后續(xù)的電池供應(yīng)。而目前兩家商業(yè)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)開始矛盾激化升級(jí)，LG 化學(xué)針對(duì) SK Innovation 發(fā)起一系列訴訟，主要指責(zé)其通過雇傭其員工來(lái)竊取鋰電池相關(guān)核心技術(shù)。訴訟是通過 LG 化學(xué)和子公司 LGCMI 發(fā)起的，在國(guó)際貿(mào)易委員會(huì)和特拉華州地方法院同時(shí)提起訴訟。

 

 

在這個(gè)文件里面，LG 方面提出的有幾點(diǎn)：

 

從 2017 年，LG 化學(xué)已經(jīng)開始關(guān)注這個(gè)事情的發(fā)展

 

SK 創(chuàng)新把趕超，寄希望于從對(duì)手雇員方面想辦法，涵蓋工程師、研發(fā)科學(xué)家和技工

 

LGC is informed and believes that in or about 2017, while announcing their intent to reinvent themselves and become a top-tier battery maker, Defendants engaged in a targeted campaign to hire LGC engineers, scientists and technicians who were involved in virtually all core aspects of LGC’s battery business to leave LGC, take competing positions with Defendants, and disclose and use LGC Trade Secrets (such as those including research and development for the EV industry, battery design manufacturing, lithium-ion quality control assessments, battery performance and testing information, purchasing, and sales histories and strategies and myriad other confidential information)  

 

幾個(gè)主要被圈住的員工的情況：

 

 

 

The Former LGC Employees knew and were so experienced in using LGC Trade Secrets that, upon information and belief, Defendants specifically sought to unlawfully obtain not just their know how, but LGC Trade Secrets and other confidential information. For example, LGC is informed and believes that many of the Former LGC Employees had worked specifically on products and technologies concerning Volkswagen automobiles, one of LGC’s key and emerging customers in the EV market, and its modular electric toolkit (known as the “MEB”)6 platform for electric vehicles. The Former LGC Employees had access to, were trained on, and routinely used LGC’s Trade Secrets and other confidential information. 

 

   

 

而主要的結(jié)果就是針對(duì)以上涉及 MEB 項(xiàng)目的員工，直接和拿到美國(guó)的項(xiàng)目有著關(guān)聯(lián)。大眾汽車去年已經(jīng)選擇韓國(guó)電池制造商 SKI 為其基于模塊化電動(dòng)工具包(MEB)平臺(tái)的電動(dòng)汽車供應(yīng)電池。SKI 將主要為北美地區(qū)供應(yīng)電池，并向集團(tuán)在歐洲生產(chǎn)的純電動(dòng)汽車供應(yīng)部分電池。SKI 在后面宣布在美國(guó)佐治亞州杰克遜縣新建動(dòng)力電池工廠，該工廠預(yù)計(jì) 2019 年初開工，2022 年投入生產(chǎn)。SKI 宣布將投資 8.59 億美元(約 57.4 億元人民幣)在匈牙利建設(shè)另一家電池廠，奠基儀式將于今年 3 月在 Komárom 舉行。新工廠將于 2021 年完工，并將從 2022 年開始向歐洲汽車制造商大規(guī)模交付電池。

 

 

小結(jié)：這個(gè)我們就當(dāng)旁觀者來(lái)看吧，未來(lái)在鋰電領(lǐng)域里面的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)和糾紛還是會(huì)很多的
