U.S. Supreme Court rejects Tata challenge to $168 million award in trade secrets case

▤ Summary

The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear Tata Consultancy Services’ challenge to a $168 million trade secrets award in favor of DXC Technology. The dispute centers on software used for life insurance, where DXC alleged Tata hired Transamerica employees and used their knowledge to build a competing platform. Lower courts had already upheld the reduced damages award, which included both compensatory and punitive damages. The decision leaves the judgment intact and closes Tata’s final major appeal in the case.
