Oracle sues rival SAP for ‘corporate theft’ -Software-Infotech-News By Industry-News-The Economic Times
Oracle sues rival SAP for ‘corporate theft’ -Software-Infotech-News By Industry-News-The Economic Times: "This allowed SAP to copy thousands of Oracle software products and other confidential materials onto its own servers and compile an illegal library of copyrighted software code, the lawsuit charged. “This case is about corporate theft on a grand scale, committed by the largest German software company — a conglomerate known as SAP,” said the lawsuit, filed in US district court in San Francisco.
An SAP representative in Germany declined to comment on the latest battle in what has become a bitter rivalry. Oracle has spent $20 billion buying software rivals over the past three years to challenge SAP, the leader in corporate applications that help automate everything from accounting to human resources to inventory management. Oracle is expanding into that market as its core database business matures. "
