Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has had its appeal against a trade secrets lawsuit ruling moved to a federal court. The case, which dates from 2014, originally saw TCS fined $940m after a judge ruled its employees had stolen up to 6,000 pieces of data from US firm Epic Systems. The financial penalty was later reduced to $420m. All these processes can take a year or more to finish. In the latest development, the company filed an amended complaint in New York on Friday that claims it is being “unjustly persecuted” by the government.
