AMSC espionage case due to start
Bloomberg reports that China’s Supreme People’s Court was due to begin hearing AMSC Inc.’s copyright infringement case against Sinovel Wind Group Co. last Friday.
AMSC, a Devens-based maker of wind-turbine components, is seeking $6 million in damages from Sinovel, which is accused of stealing trade secrets from the local company through a rogue employee.
It’s one of four cases totaling $1.2 billion AMSC is seeking against Sinovel.
Sinovel stopped accepting contracted shipments from AMSC in March 2011.
