IBM secures legal victories against LzLabs, BMC Software
Briefly

IBM has recently emerged victorious in two significant legal cases. The US Supreme Court upheld the Fifth Circuit's decision, negating a $1.6 billion ruling in favor of BMC Software, concluding that AT&T's software replacement decision was lawful under their contract with IBM. Additionally, in the UK, IBM won its case against LzLabs, finding that LzLabs had breached license agreements by reverse engineering IBM technology. These rulings address crucial issues surrounding software integrity and contractual obligations.
IBM has secured two significant legal victories, as the US Supreme Court upheld a lower court's decision in favor of IBM against BMC, and a UK court ruled against LzLabs.
The US Supreme Court's refusal to review the BMC case maintains the appellate court's decision that AT&T's software choice was legitimate and aligned with contractual terms.
In the UK, IBM successfully challenged LzLabs' actions of reverse engineering IBM's mainframe technology, confirming violations of their license agreement through a court ruling.
IBM expressed satisfaction over the ruling against LzLabs, emphasizing the legal validation of its software agreements and the protection of its mainframe technology.
