Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) faces an additional $70 million financial provision following the US Supreme Court's refusal to review its appeal in a trade secrets dispute with DXC Technology.
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) faces an additional $70 million financial provision following the US Supreme Court's refusal to review its appeal in a trade secrets dispute with DXC Technology. This stems from a long-running legal battle rooted in TCS allegedly exploiting former Transamerica employees' access to proprietary software data to develop competing platforms. The dispute originated from a 2019 lawsuit by Computer Sciences Corporation (now part of DXC) alleging misappropriation of trade secrets. While TCS argued for unjust enrichment and challenged punitive damages, the Supreme Court declined review on June 15, 2026, leaving the lower court judgment intact. The total exposure for TCS in this matter is estimated around $220 million.
