Nvidia sued after engineer accidentally shares data from old job on video call

Nvidia’s lawyers said in the June 2022 letter that the company knew nothing about the screen-sharing incident until the previous month, when Moniruzzaman reported that he’d been served with a summons for criminal copyright infringement and his laptop had been seized by police. — Bloomberg

A Nvidia Corp engineer, during a video conference call with his former employer, had one of those oops moments. He shared his screen, leaving a file up that contained data about robocar technology that he had stolen from his previous company, Valeo SE.

The engineer was convicted of infringing business secrets in Germany earlier this year and now Valeo is suing Nvidia in California.
