VIA Executives Charged With Industrial Espionage

The Taipei District Prosecutors Office has charged two top executives and an employee at chip designer VIA Technologies Inc. with the theft of a rival firm's software coding.
VIA officials said Saturday that company chairwoman Cher Wang and her husband, president Wenchi Chen, face up to four years in prison, while Jeffrey Chang, a senior consultant at wholly owned subsidiary VIA Networking Technologies, Inc. could spend three years in jail if found guilty.
