Boeing, the American multinational corporation that designs, manufactures, and sells airplanes, is currently seeking to have a lawsuit filed by an aerospace engineering company dismissed. The plaintiff has lodged an accusation that Boeing has stolen their patented technology. Boeing’s contention is that the aerospace company is seeking to turn a business disappointment into an implausible intellectual property dispute.
The claim had been made in a Washington federal court where Boeing made the request for dismissal. The aerospace engineering company’s suit alleges that Boeing took proprietary technology that is currently under patent, which would constitute a serious breach of intellectual property laws if proven to be true. However, Boeing is urging the federal judge to toss the case, arguing that the accusations lack substance and credibility.
Both the aerospace company and Boeing are yet to release further comments or statements regarding the case.
