In October 2020, a 45-year-old researcher was accused by authorities of engaging in industrial espionage against Sekisui Chemical on behalf of CCTC. He divulged information on the production of conductive particles used in touchscreens between August 2018 and January 2019. CCTC allegedly approached the man in 2018 through a message on LinkedIn and invited him to visit China with the expenses paid for. During one of the trips, CCTC proposed exchanging its technology for Sekisui Chemical's. The researcher was accused of copying company information to his personal flash drive and emailing the data to CCTC on his own computer. He was dismissed in May 2019 following an internal investigation. Authorities stated his motives were to obtain technology from CCTC for Sekisui Chemical that would boost his standing within the company. CCTC made no comment on the case.[8]
