NVIDIA sued for stealing trade secrets after screensharing blunder showed rival company’s code::NVIDIA is facing a lawsuit filed by French automotive company Valeo after a screensharing blunder by one of its employees.
Wasn’t exactly NVIDIA, but an employee from another company who was hired by NVIDIA. Whether NVIDIA asked the employee to steal for them will probably determine how deep in hot water they are.
Even if they didn’t ask him to do it, if he instantly produced a truckload of code they knew where it came from and that it was illegally obtained.
