Chemist admits to stealing sanofi-aventis secrets
A former research chemist with global pharmaceutical company sanofi-aventis admitted on Tuesday to stealing sanofi-aventis trade secrets and making them available for sale through a US subsidiary of a Chinese chemical company in China, authorities said.
French pharmaceutical group Sanofi-Aventis has completed its acquisition of 100% of Chattem, a US-based provider of branded over-the-counter healthcare products, toiletries and dietary supplements, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Sanofi-Aventis Group.
