According to the official public account "Innovation Songshan Lake" of the Dongguan Songshan Lake High-tech Industrial Development Zone Management Committee, the Songshan Lake Public Security Bureau recently dispatched ten capable police officers to investigate and collect evidence in three provinces, and followed the line for three months.Successfully uncovered a case of trade secret infringement. It is understood that in August this year, the Economic Investigation Brigade of the Songshan Lake Public Security Bureau received materials submitted by a company, showing that physical photos and videos of a global unmarketed prototype produced by the company were leaked. The unlisted product belongs to a well-known brand, and the impact of the leakage of trade secrets is immeasurable.

Regarding this matter, the leaders of the Songshan Lake Public Security Bureau attached great importance to it and dispatched ten capable police officers from the Economic Investigation Brigade to coordinate the investigation of the case. After several rounds of detailed investigations, several people with significant connections to the case were gradually identified. Among them, T, the prototype production supervisor of the company, was particularly suspicious.

Subsequently, investigators continued to screen a large amount of detailed information and compared related events. After multiple cross-provincial evidence collections, the evidence chain gradually became complete, and several masterminds behind T also emerged.

It is reported that the masterminds of the incident, K and C, all have a history of making and selling counterfeit goods and are engaged in the processing of peripheral products of the goods involved.In order to seize market opportunities, they conspired to steal trade secrets.

T was bribed by K with a high bribe, and the stolen prototype was used to provide the gang with physical samples. After the incident, T, at the instigation of K, conducted a counter-reconnaissance confrontation with the investigators.

After three months of cross-provincial investigation and pursuit, T and K finally found themselves unable to escape legal sanctions. Currently, many suspects involved in the case have been subject to compulsory measures, and the case is being further processed.

Regarding the Songshan Lake Public Security Bureau’s quick solution to the case, the company involved also sent a letter of thanks in November, saying:

"Through this case, we not only felt the authority and effectiveness of the public security organs' law enforcement, but also deeply felt the example set by the public security organs in optimizing the business environment. The police officers used their solid work, sincere service and high sense of responsibility to protect the development of the enterprise, which enhanced our company's confidence in investing in Dongguan and its determination to further expand its scale..."

Although the Songshan Lake Public Security Bureau did not disclose the specific company, it can be determined based on existing information that,This company is a world-renowned brand manufacturer with a R&D/production base in Songshan Lake Park, and the peripheral products of the stolen prototype products also have a huge market.

Based on this, Xinzhixun speculates that what was stolen in the incident is likely to be a "flagship-level new smartphone prototype" from a certain smartphone manufacturer that has the potential to become a hit. After all, there are currently only a few smartphone brand manufacturers with huge market demand and profit margins for peripheral accessories for their popular flagship smartphones. Only in this way can the suspect be willing to take risks.

You know, this kind of incident has happened to Apple's new iPhone many times in the past. Many iPhone protective cases/film and other accessories manufacturers have tried every means to understand the design specifications of the new generation iPhone prototype in advance, so as to preempt other competitors and produce accessories in advance so that they can be launched and sold simultaneously with the new iPhone and make huge profits.

It is probably a well-known smartphone brand manufacturer that currently has a R&D/production base in Dongguan.There are only Xwei, OPPO and vivo.

However, the R&D/production bases of OPPO and vivo in Dongguan are both in Chang'an Town, and only the R&D/production base of certain smartphones is in Songshan Lake Park.

Let’s look at the time when the incident occurred. The Economic Investigation Brigade of the Songshan Lake Public Security Bureau received the materials submitted by a certain company in August. Although the specific time was not specified, the Songshan Lake Public Security Bureau stated that the time it took to solve the case was "three months", not more than three months. At the same time, the time when the thank you letter was received was November 21, which means that the time for reporting the case should be between August 1 and August 21. The actual photos and videos of the prototype were leaked before the crime was reported, that is, at least before August 21.

So before August 21, which company’s blockbuster flagship smartphone had prototype photos and videos exposed in advance by the outside world (unofficially)?

Although OPPOFindN3Flip was officially released on August 29, outside sources did expose some real photos of the phone, but there seems to be no relevant video, and the peripheral products of OPPOFindN3Flip do not have enough "attractive" profit margins to make people willing to "take risks".

In contrast, a certain brand's flagship phone Mate60Pro, which was also launched directly online on August 29, is undoubtedly attractive to criminal suspects.

Before Mate60 Pro goes on sale on August 29,In late July this year, Mate60 Pro prototype photos and videos were exposed online, which are almost identical in appearance to the final real machine.

After some reasonable speculation by Xinzhixun combined with the existing relevant information, it seems that the case solved by the Songshan Lake Public Security Bureau is very likely to be related to the above speculation. It is no wonder that the Songshan Lake Public Security Bureau attaches so much importance to it. Of course, the above is just the speculation of Xinzhixun, and the final facts are subject to further official disclosure.
