Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. said it will appeal an almost $1 billion verdict against the Indian software company in a U.S. intellectual-property infringement case.
A federal jury in Madison, Wisconsin, found that Tata Consultancy and Tata America International Corp. should pay $940 million for using data from Epic Systems without permission, according to a verdict handed down on April 15. The company can file an appeal within 30 days of the trial judgment, which is expected in the next six to eight weeks, Tata Consultancy said in an e-mailed statement.
