‘Theft’ case may leave Brand TCS bruised

Tata Consultancy Services is facing yet another lawsuit in the US, this time for allegedly stealing trade secrets that could severely dent the firm’s image in its largest market.

Last week, Computer Sciences Corp (CSC), a former client of TCS, alleged in a lawsuit that TCS America has been stealing its trade secrets.

In its filing with the US District Court of Northen District of Texas-Dallas Division, CSC has claimed that TCS is using its trade secrets to build a competing software platform, as part of TCS BaNCS, in the life insurance market.
