U.S. Supreme Court Rejects Tata Consultancy Services' Appeal in $168 Million Trade Secrets Case
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Tata Consultancy Services' appeal against a $168 million award to DXC Technology for allegedly stealing trade secrets related to life-insurance software. The original 2019 lawsuit claimed Tata hired Transamerica employees to access proprietary software from DXC's predecessor. A 2023 jury advisory verdict proposed $210 million, later reduced to $168 million by a federal judge and upheld by the appeals court. Tata denied wrongdoing and challenged the damages under U.S. trade secret law.
