US Supreme Court turns down Tata Consultancy Services’ appeal in $168 million trade secrets award
The US Supreme Court turned away on Monday a bid by India-based Tata Consultancy Services to overturn a $168 million award won against it by DXC Technology for allegedly stealing trade secrets related to life-insurance software.
Tata had appealed after a lower court upheld a judge’s decision to set the award at $56 million in compensatory damages and $112 million in punitive damages to Ashburn, Virginia-based DXC. Tata had argued that the damages award could not be justified under US law regarding trade secrets.
