发帖数: 483 | 4 Nearly six years ago, Yuan Li was hired as a medicinal chemist for Sanofi.
And during that time, she worked on countless compounds and signed all the
usual paperwork in which she acknowledged there were no conflicts of
interest and that the intellectual property belonged to the drugmaker. But
last year, Sanofi learned otherwise.
In May 2011, a little-known company called Abby Pharmatech began advertising
chemical compounds on its web site and by the following month, Sanofi had
identified more than 6,000 propriety chemical structures on an online
database called SciFinder that were registered to Abby Pharmatech.
The drugmaker went to the feds, who discovered that Li was listed on federal
tax forms as one of two partners and owned a 50 percent stake in the
business, according to court documents (read here). Li, who is a Chinese
national, later admitted, that between October 2008 and June 2011, she
accessed a Sanofi database and downloaded info on numerous compounds and
chemical structures, court documents state.
And the penalty? The charge to which Li pleaded guilty carries a maximum
potential penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. She may also
face deportation, according to the plea agreement. Sentencing is scheduled
for April 23, according to a statement from US Attorney Paul Fishman in
Newark, New Jersey. | G****a

发帖数: 483 | 6 REUTERS - A research chemist for Sanofi-Aventis (SASY.PA) pleaded guilty on
Tuesday to stealing trade secrets from the pharmaceutical giant and making
them available for sale through a Chinese company, prosecutors said.
Yuan Li, 29, of Somerset, New Jersey, appeared before U.S. District Judge
Joel Pisano in Trenton federal court and pleaded guilty to one count of
theft of trade secrets, according to a release from U.S. Attorney Paul
Fishman.
A Chinese national, Li worked as a research scientist at Sanofi's U.S.
headquarters in Bridgewater, New Jersey, from August 2006 to June 2011,
where she directly helped develop a number of compounds the company viewed
as potential "building blocks" for future drugs, the release said.
While at Sanofi, Li also was a 50 percent partner in Abby Pharmatech Inc, a
U.S. subsidiary of a Chinese chemical company engaged in the sale and
distribution of pharmaceuticals.
Li admitted that between October 2008 and June 2011, she accessed an
internal Sanofi database and downloaded information about a number of
compounds, including their chemical structures, to her company laptop. She
transferred the information to her personal home computer by sending herself
an e-mail or using a USB thumb drive and made the stolen compounds
available for sale on Abby's website, Fishman said.
In a statement, Sanofi spokesman Jack Cox said Li was terminated from the
company for policy violations.
"Sanofi takes the protection of its intellectual property seriously," he
said. "The company has been and will continue to cooperate with Federal
authorities, as appropriate, in this matter."
Li's attorney Paul Brickfield said his client accepted responsibility for
her actions and agreed to pay $131,000 in restitution. To make Abby look
credible, she listed a number of compounds that were being developed by her
employer, Brickfield said. The idea was to create the impression that Abby
had a deeper inventory, he added.
Li faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine when she is sentenced
on April 23.
Sanofi and Li's lawyers were not immediately available for comment.
The case is U.S. v. Yuan Li, U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey.

：那个site在2008年被通知今后3年内关掉。前一段时间刚关。结果路透社的消息还说
：公司发言人说要根据policy terminate。好像那个site还开着一样。
那个site一共3000人。即使是提前3年，都没有办法分流。因为周围的药厂都倒霉。全
美国的药厂每家都倒霉。
sumerset是全新泽西最富的一个county。据说户均收入是19万多美元。可想而知，一旦
没收入是多么可怕一件事情。
药厂是非常的糟糕。比华尔街更风险，还没华尔街的bonus来补偿风险。就靠赶上黄金
期，赶紧投资正确。然后等下岗了就去费城市区的黑人区搞房子出租。很多人都在这么
干。想想原来是个scientist，现在要带着手枪去讨房租。好在中国人语言不行，开枪
去枪店训练以后还都在行。一点不输老外。

发帖数: 483 | 8 那批新泽西的药厂老人都很有钱。基本面是双职工在1997年以前工作的，不但是国内在
北京，上海都有不止一套市区的大单元；在新泽西的好地段都有目前值100万的房子。
据说1997年以前在买的价值40万美元的房子，就是今天都值100万。然后当时国内的房
价你懂的。就他们一年的税后再减去吃喝开销的钱。凡是当时给爸妈，兄弟姐妹买房子
改善生活质量的，目前都发大了。
而最关键的是，当时那批人的起薪跟今天的起薪没有本质区别。就最多差那么1万。 |
