Kolon Industries fended off Wednesday a trade secret lawsuit filed by leading American chemical firm DuPont, claiming that its business has not breached any law to step into the lucrative para-aramid fiber market.

DuPont filed a suit with a U.S. federal court Tuesday, accusing the Korean firm of stealing trade secrets and confidential information related to its high-strength fiber technology used to make bullet-proof and flame-resistant clothing.
