| Keywords: | Oracle SAP lawsuit, Oracle TomorrowNow lawsuit |
Oracle Corp. yesterday said it intends to significantly expand its trade secrets theft lawsuit against SAP AG, a move that Oracle said will require the scheduled trial date in the case to be pushed back by a year.
Oracle, in documents filed in U.S. District Court, said it will amend its original complaint against SAP — filed in March 2007 — with an expanded complaint alleging “a pattern of unlawful conduct that is different from, and even more serious than, the mass downloading that was the primary focus of the [first complaint].”
Specifically, the Oracle filing says, “It appears that SAP AG and SAP America knew — at executive levels — of the likely illegality of [SAP subsidiary TomorrowNow’s] business model from the time of their acquisition of [TomorrowNow] and, for business reasons, failed to change it.” The filing does not identify SAP AG and SAP Americas executives who supposedly knew about the alleged illegal business model.
