Abstract

This fictionalized case looks at the spillover of intellectual property (IP) from a critical component supplier to an original equipment maker in the Chinese auto industry. What are the challenges to holding on to proprietary know-how when a customer wishes to use market access as a bargaining chip? The case is based on a real situation.
