TCS and Wipro hit with patent lawsuits in Texas
TCS and Wipro, two major Indian IT companies, are facing fresh patent infringement lawsuits in Texas.
Calibrate Networks claims TCS used its patented technology for changing the names of software applications without permission, while Mobility Workx says Wipro violated patents related to wireless and 5G testing.
Both companies are also accused of encouraging their clients to use these disputed technologies.
What's at stake for the companies
Both lawsuits argue that TCS and Wipro kept using the patented tech even after being warned.
Now, jury trials and damages are on the table.
This comes as Indian IT firms see more legal trouble—like the $194 million fine TCS got recently for trade secret theft.
With more cases popping up, there's raising questions about client confidence in scaling AI and cloud programs with these companies.
