SHERMAN: Huawei Technologies Co. and Silicon Valley startup CNEX Labs Inc. each accused the other of stealing technology related to data storage at the beginning of a trial in which the Chinese telecom giant is seeking to persuade an American jury of its innovation prowess.
The dueling views of what happened during the two years that Yiren “Ronnie” Huang worked for Huawei will be presented over what’s expected to be a three-week trial in Sherman, Texas, about an hour north of Dallas. Outside the courtroom, Huawei is at the center of a global battle between the US and China that’s sucked in political allies and businesses.
Huang, who had worked in the field for decades, was hired at Huawei’s FutureWei unit in Santa Clara, California, in January 2011 to oversee a group researching storage techniques that could be integrated into Huawei’s networking products. District Court Judge Amos Mazzant let the lawyers for all three sides – Huawei, CNEX, and Huang – present preliminary statements to the jury pool before the eight-member jury was selected.
