Cases in Spotlight
浙江省杭州市市场监管局查处孙某侵犯人工智能大模型商业秘密案
Municipal Market Supervision Administration of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province Investigates and Penalizes Sun for Infringing on Trade Secrets of AI Large Models
（一）案件介绍
(I) Case Brief
人工智能大模型高速发展，技术日新月异，企业越来越倾向于通过商业秘密形式对提示词工程、Agent技能包等新类型技术信息进行保护。2011年7月，孙某入职杭州某人工智能企业（以下称权利人），任资深算法专家，直至2025年7月离职，其全权牵头研发某垂直领域AI智能审查模型，掌握模型核心涉密资料。2023年12月，孙某在职期间，利用其配偶身份，注册成立并实际控制法原（杭州）科技有限公司（以下简称法原公司）。2024年6月，孙某向法原公司研发人员发送权利人AI模型专属提示词模板、审查规则、标注规范等相关资料，用于法原公司研发权利人同类AI模型。经行业专家专项论证，上述资料组合形成的场景智能审查一体化方案，具备非公知性、商业价值、企业保密管控要件，属于AI垂直领域新型集成式技术商业秘密。
With the rapid development of large artificial intelligence models and constantly evolving technologies, enterprises increasingly protect new types of technical information, such as prompt engineering and Agent skill packages, as trade secrets. In July 2011, Mr. Sun joined a Hangzhou-based AI enterprise (hereinafter referred to as the "right holder") as a senior algorithm expert and remained in this position until his resignation in July 2025. Sun was fully responsible for leading R&D of a vertical-domain AI intelligent review model and had access to the model's core confidential materials. In December 2023, while still employed by the right holder, Sun utilized his spouse's identity to register, establish, and effectively control Fayuan (Hangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Fayuan Company"). In June 2024, Sun sent the right holder's exclusive AI model prompt templates, review rules, labeling specifications, and other related materials to Fayuan Company's R&D personnel to develop a competing AI model of the same type. Through special assessment by industry experts, the scenario-based intelligent review integrated solution formed by combining the above materials possesses non-common-knowledge character, commercial value, and enterprise confidentiality control elements. It thus constitutes a new type of integrated technical trade secret in the vertical AI domain.
（二）法律适用及处罚
(II) Legal Application and Penalty
孙某身为算法核心涉密员工，2011年7月入职时签署专项保密协议，在职期间及离职后均负有保密义务。其私自披露权利人核心涉密资料的行为，违反了《中华人民共和国反不正当竞争法》（2019年修正）第九条第一款第（三）项、第二款的规定。2026年5月28日，杭州市市场监管局经综合考量，依据该法第二十一条的规定，责令孙某停止泄密、授权使用行为，并处罚款350000元。法原公司侵犯商业秘密行为另案处理。
As an employee with access to the company's core algorithm secrets, Sun signed a special non-disclosure agreement upon joining the company in July 2011, which imposed non-disclosure obligations both during his employment and after his resignation. His unauthorized disclosure of the right holder's core confidential materials violated the provisions of Article 9.1(3) and Article 9.2 of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law of the People's Republic of China (2019 Amendment). On May 28, 2026, after comprehensive consideration, the Hangzhou Municipal Market Regulation Administration, pursuant to Article 21 of the aforementioned law, ordered Sun to cease the leakage and unauthorized use of secrets, and imposed a fine of RMB 350,000. The infringement of trade secrets by Fayuan Company will be handled in a separate case.
（三）案件评析
(III) Case Analysis
本案系全国首例人工智能垂类大模型商业秘密案件，突破AI行业传统执法局限。过往AI知识产权维权多局限于源代码确权，本案破除行业“代码情结”，使执法视角更适配AI行业特性，明确认定自然语言类集成方案、非标运营规则均可独立构成商业秘密。本案的查办探索了人工智能非标集成技术商业秘密的认定路径，填补了国内人工智能行业商业秘密执法空白，为算法人才流动、同业AI研发、科创企业涉密数据管理划定合规红线，助力人工智能产业规范化创新发展。
This case is the first trade secret case nationwide involving a vertical AI large model, breaking through the traditional enforcement limitations of the AI industry. Historically, AI intellectual property protection has been largely confined to source code rights confirmation. This case breaks away from the industry's "code complex", making the enforcement perspective better adapted to the characteristics of the AI industry, and explicitly determining that natural language integrated solutions and non-standard operating rules can independently constitute trade secrets. The experience from the investigation and handling of this case represents an attempt to identify trade secrets in AI non-standard integration technologies, fills a domestic enforcement gap in trade secret protection within the AI industry, and establishes a clear compliance red line for algorithm talent mobility, peer AI R&D, and sci-tech enterprises' confidential data management, thereby contributing to the standardized and innovative development of the AI industry.

利用AI虚构他人产品测评文章搭车引流构成不正当竞争——某科技公司与某软件公司等侵害商标权及不正当竞争纠纷案
Using AI to Fabricate Review Articles of Others' Products for Piggybacking and Improper Traffic Increase Constitutes Unfair Competition: A Trademark Infringement and Unfair Competition Dispute Case Between a Technology Company and a Software Company
基本案情
Case Brief
某科技公司主营销售进销存软件产品等业务。某软件公司为同业经营者。某软件公司以“进销存”为词根，利用AI批量生成文章标题，再交由AI自动生成相应文章，文章内容均为对某科技公司进销存软件的介绍和点评。某软件公司在自有网站发布上述文章，并在文章前后位置设置了指向其自有进销存软件产品的链接。某科技公司认为，某软件公司的上述行为构成不正当竞争，遂诉至法院。
A technology company is primarily engaged in the sales of inventory and sales management software products. A software company is a peer competitor. Using "inventory and sales management" as the root keyword, the software company used AI to batch-generate article titles, then fed them into AI to automatically generate corresponding articles. The articles consisted entirely of introductions and reviews of the technology company's inventory and sales management software. The software company published the articles on its own website and placed links to its own inventory and sales management software at the beginning and end of each article. Believing the software company's actions constituted unfair competition, the technology company filed a lawsuit.
裁判结果
Result of Judgment
江苏省无锡市新吴区人民法院一审认为，某软件公司利用人工智能等工具批量生成大量针对他人“进销存”软件的介绍、点评文章，并将其中含有“某进销存软件”字样的多篇文章发布至其官网，目的是利用搜索引擎的自然检索规则，使其官网发布的多篇涉案文章可以被检索并呈现至相关公众的检索结果中，以吸引相关公众点击文章中设置的其自有产品链接，实现引流目的。该行为降低了某科技公司的用户流量和交易机会，同时在网络中制造了大量垃圾信息，造成数据污染，扰乱了竞争秩序，构成不正当竞争。一审法院遂判令某软件公司赔偿某科技公司相应经济损失。该一审判决已生效。
The People's Court of Xinwu District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province held in the first instance that the software company used AI and other tools to batch-generate a large number of introduction and review articles targeting others' "inventory and sales management" software, and published multiple articles containing the phrase "[redacted] inventory and sales management software" on its official website. The purpose was to leverage the natural retrieval rules of search engines so that multiple articles involved in the case published on its official website could be retrieved and presented in the search results of the relevant public, thereby attracting the relevant public to click on the links of its own products embedded within the articles to drive more traffic to the software company. This behavior reduced the technology company's user traffic and transaction opportunities, while creating a large amount of spam information on the Internet, causing data pollution, disrupting the competitive order, and thus constituting unfair competition. Consequently, the first-instance court ordered the software company to compensate the technology company for corresponding economic losses. The first-instance judgment has taken effect.
典型意义
Case Significance
本案是适用反不正当竞争法一般条款规制新类型不正当竞争行为的典型案例。判决明确，利用AI技术批量生成、发布虚构测评文章，搭载自身产品或服务进行引流的行为，有违诚实信用原则和商业道德，构成不当截取他人交易机会的不正当竞争行为。本案对稳妥适用反不正当竞争法一般条款，有效规制新类型不正当竞争行为，依法规范新兴领域竞争秩序具有示范作用。
This case is a typical example of applying the general provisions of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law to regulate a new type of unfair competition behavior. The judgment clarifies that using AI technology to batch-generate and publish fabricated review articles to piggyback on one's own products or services and improperly increase traffic violates the principle of good faith and commercial ethics, constituting unfair competition by improperly intercepting others' transaction opportunities. This case serves as a demonstrative precedent in prudently applying the general provisions of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law, effectively regulating new types of unfair competition behaviors, and lawfully standardizing the competitive order in emerging fields.
