ISLANDIA, N.Y. and SYDNEY, March 21,
2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today
announced that the Federal Court of Australia has found Independent Systems
Integrators (ISI) of Sydney,
Australia violated copyright laws and breached its duty of
confidentiality in developing and selling a product using
intellectual property (IP) from CA Technologies CA Datacom
relational database management system.
"We are pleased with the Court's decision," said Amy Fliegelman
Olli, CA Technologies executive vice president and general
counsel. "CA Technologies will continue to vigorously protect
its intellectual property and aggressively pursue any illegal use
in order to protect the substantial investments we make in research
and development. Furthermore, we are committed to
safeguarding the considerable investments and confidence our
customers place in us when they purchase our products, solutions
and services."
In the next phase of the decision process, the Federal Court of
Australia is expected to issue
orders necessary to implement its ruling.
The Federal Court found that ISI infringed CA Technologies
copyrights by using CA Datacom code to develop and implement its
2BDB2 product. In addition, the Court further ruled that ISI
violated its duty of confidentiality by using confidential
information found in the Administrator and Programmer Guides
provided to CA Datacom customers to develop the ISI 2BDB2
product.
The ISI case is the second major instance in the past three
years where CA Technologies has successfully taken actions to
protect its intellectual property.
In February 2009, in the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, CA Technologies reached a settlement
with Rocket Software, Inc. resolving the company's claims of
copyright infringement and trade secret misappropriation. As
part of the settlement, Rocket has agreed to license technology
from CA Technologies, including source code authored several years
ago and related trade secrets that were the subject of the
litigation. Further terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
