CXMT planned to use stolen Samsung IP to develop its DRAM, court hears — former Samsung engineer who jumped to Chinese memory maker now behind bars

Chinese memory firm CXMT relied on leaked Samsung technology to skip years of R&D, court testimony claims

CXMT scaled output 40k→720k using Samsung's stolen 18nm Process blueprint via poached engineers; court proved IP theft worth $1B+ in R&D. Samsung has sworn evidence for US ITC to block CXMT imports, reshaping China's chip supply and setting precedent for IP enforcement.
