5th Circuit Court of Appeals overturns IBM's $1.6bn damages award in dispute with BMC Software.

5th Circuit Court of Appeals overturns $1.6bn damages award against IBM in dispute with BMC Software. The court ruled that IBM did not breach an agreement prohibiting it from encouraging shared clients to switch to its products. AT&T, a mutual client, made the decision to switch to IBM's software independently without unfair influence. The original judgment, which found IBM in breach of contract, has been overturned.
