In April this year, Samsung filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the BOE, claiming that the Chinese display maker has been poaching the South Korean tech giant’s employees and stealing the company’s trade secrets for micro OLED displays.

How is poaching employee illegal? If Samsung wants to keep its employees, they can pay them more.

I don't think the problem is poaching, it's poaching and then paying those employees to design identical hardware that uses company secrets.

You can't hire ex coca cola employees and pay them to make an identical cola recipe either.

I still don't see what the problem is with competition for employees to design identical hardware. That's the nature of free market competition, expect in a literal as opposed to polemical sense.

You also need to prove that an employee that went with a higher salary shared information in a illegal manner. And non-compete aren't actually legal everywhere.

Oh I agree with that, but working within the current capitalist market, companies won't like workers actually using what they've learned at a competing company. I just thought it was pretty important to distinguish between suing a competing company for poaching workers, and suing a company for poaching workers with the express purpose of copying a design.
