SAP chief denies stealing Oracle access codes - Mar. 26, 2007: "The chief executive of German software maker SAP denied rival Oracle's accusation that SAP used customers' online access codes to steal copyrighted software.
'We respect others' intellectual property,' Henning Kagermann said on the fringes of a conference in Munich, Germany on Monday.
U.S. database specialist Oracle said last week it would sue SAP for 'corporate theft on a grand scale,' accusing SAP of gaining repeated and unauthorized access to its password-protected customer-support Web site.
Kagermann said SAP's lawyers would examine the accusations and that no decision had yet been made on how SAP would respond. SAP said Friday it would defend itself 'aggressively' against Oracle's claims. "
