Thefts of television sets, diagrams, and circuitry are on the rise, and that's bad news for Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics -- the only companies that can commercially produce organic light-emitting diode displays, which the $110 billion flat-screen television industry expects to wow consumers and revive slumping sales. While estimates of industrial espionage are hard to come by, South Korea says foreign theft of its corporate secrets resulted in about $82 billion in damages in 2008, the most recent data available, up from $26 billion in 2004. Any company that has a competitive advantage or new technology will be targeted by industrial espionage, says Frank Schurgers, managing director of security agency Integris International in Berlin. As secret-stealing picks up, companies as diverse as Samsung, Apple, and Toyota Motor are boosting security, sometimes at immense cost.
