Teradata alleged a decade-long campaign of trade secret misappropriation, copyright infringement, and antitrust violations by SAP, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on June 20, 2018. Teradata further claimed that SAP developed and released Hana by misappropriating Teradata\u2019s intellectual property. (Source: Teradata<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detailed allegations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In its official statement, Teradata further detailed these claims:<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSAP has engaged in a decade-long campaign of anti-competitive behavior, to the detriment of the parties\u2019 customers and Teradata alike. SAP lured Teradata into a purported joint venture in order to gain access to Teradata\u2019s valuable intellectual property. SAP\u2019s purpose for the joint venture was to steal Teradata\u2019s trade secrets, developed over the course of four decades, and use them to quickly develop and introduce a competing though inferior product, SAP Hana. Upon release of SAP Hana, SAP promptly terminated the joint venture, and SAP is now attempting to coerce its customers into using Hana only, to the exclusion of Teradata.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTeradata supports competition and innovation in the data and analytics space. SAP\u2019s\nconduct, however, is neither pro-competitive nor innovative. We believe seeking relief\nthrough legal action against SAP is a necessary step to protect the rights and interests of our\nshareholders and all of our other stakeholders, including our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case timeline<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The legal proceedings have continued since then. According to SAP\u2019s official disclosures in the SAP Half-Year Report 2025, under Intellectual-Property-Related Litigation and Claims, SAP has outlined the following series of events in the court proceedings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn 2019, SAP asserted patent infringement counterclaims against Teradata seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. In 2020, Teradata initiated a second civil lawsuit against SAP asserting patent infringement, seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief; in February 2021, SAP filed patent infringement counterclaims against Teradata in this second U.S. lawsuit and a civil lawsuit against Teradata in Germany asserting patent infringement, seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll claims between the parties were dismissed in November 2021 after the district court issued a summary judgment decision in SAP\u2019s favor on Teradata\u2019s antitrust and trade secret claims. Teradata appealed the district court\u2019s summary judgment decision. In December 2024, the U.S. Appeals Court granted Teradata\u2019s appeal and ordered that the case be returned to the district court for further proceedings, including trial on Teradata\u2019s antitrust and trade secret claims. During the first half of 2025, the case was set for trial in April 2026.\u201c (Source: SAP) SAP<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the claims differ from those put forward by Teradata, the European Commission has also opened an investigation into SAP for anticompetitive practices in 2025. It remains to be seen in 2026 how these particular legal procedures will develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
