A Delaware jury ruled Cummins misappropriated C3.ai’s trade secrets, ordering the engine maker to pay $23.3M in damages.
C3.ai (AI) was awarded $23.3M in damages after a Delaware jury unanimously found Cummins (CMI) guilty of misappropriating its trade secrets. The verdict follows a lawsuit filed in November 2023, where C3.ai alleged its licensee, Cummins, unlawfully used proprietary technology.
The case centered on claims that Cummins, based in Columbus, Indiana, violated trade secret protections. No prior financial penalties or settlements were disclosed in the dispute. The ruling marks a significant legal victory for C3.ai in protecting its intellectual property.
