MapMyIndia sues Ola Electric for allegedly copying data for building own maps service

CE Info Systems, the parent company of MapMyIndia, issued a legal notice to Ola Electric. According to a report by Forbes India, the company was alleged to have copied MapMyIndia’s data after Ola Electric introduced its own mapping service in India.

The notice accuses Ola Electric of violating their licensing agreement. Earlier in 2022, MapMyIndia was onboarded by Ola Electric to provide navigation services for its S1 Pro electric scooter. The legal notice points out that Ola’s activities breach the 2021 agreement’s terms. The term is expected to specifically forbid co-mingling and reverse engineering according to Intellectual Property regulations.
