台湾检察官指控东京电子公司台湾单位违反《国家安全法》和《贸易秘密法》, Taiwanese prosecutors have charged Tokyo Electron’s Taiwan unit with violating the National Security Act and Trade Secrets Act, marking the first corporate indictment under Taiwan’s National Security Act for alleged trade secret theft. 该案源于8月对一名前TSMC雇员的起诉,该雇员被控窃取秘密,帮助东京电子公司获得TSMC先进的两米计芯片技术合同。 The case stems from the August indictment of a former TSMC employee accused of stealing secrets to help Tokyo Electron win contracts for TSMC’s advanced 2-nanometer chip technology. 检察官说,尽管有一般的内部规则,公司没有执行适当的保障措施。 Prosecutors say the company failed to implement adequate safeguards despite having general internal rules. 如果被定罪,该单位可能面临最高1.2亿美元的罚款(380万美元)。 If convicted, the unit could face fines up to NT$120 million ($3.8 million). 东京电子公司尚未确认组织参与,也未发表评论。 Tokyo Electron has not confirmed organizational involvement and did not comment. 该案凸显了台湾重要半导体部门对知识产权保护的日益严格审查。 The case highlights growing scrutiny over intellectual property protection in Taiwan’s vital semiconductor sector.
