Bombay HC stays order that barred Unacademy from using PrepLadder app

Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Friday stayed the order of a city civil court that barred Unacademy from using its PrepLadder app over allegations of plagiarism from Medical Joyworks, a Sri Lankan startup.

On Monday, the lower court had said that Unacademy could not use PrepLadder—which helps students prepare for various entrance exams—until all proprietary information, know-how and technology belonging to Medical Joyworks had been removed from it to the satisfaction of the Sri Lankan firm and an independent auditor. The court had also said that Medical Joyworks could claim compensation after assessing the loss, if any.
