Texas Instruments initiated legal proceedings against former Vice President Kannan Soundarapandian. The lawsuit, first reported by Bloomberg, alleges Soundarapandian took proprietary information to his new employer, GlobalFoundries.
TI claims the former executive could leverage confidential knowledge regarding power semiconductor manufacturing. This includes specific process recipes, roadmaps, and technical know-how.
The company seeks to block Soundarapandian from his new role to prevent the exposure of crucial trade secrets. This legal action highlights intensifying competition within the advanced power device sector.
