US Court Dismisses Natsoft's Patent Claims Against Hexaware
Hexaware Technologies announced a significant legal victory as the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois dismissed all claims in the lawsuit filed by Natsoft Corporation and Updraft, LLC. The court found Natsoft's asserted patents to be abstract and ineligible for patent protection. Consequently, the federal patent infringement claims and related state law claims were dismissed. While the plaintiffs have an opportunity to file an amended complaint, Hexaware expressed confidence in its original engineering and intellectual property, noting that its own platforms are patented due to their specific and original nature. The litigation has had no material impact on Hexaware's operations or financial position.
