Lands’ End, Inc. v. Versata Software, Inc.

    DisputeSoft was engaged by the plaintiff in the matter of Lands’ End, Inc. v. Versata Software, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, case 3:06cv132.

    Lands’ End contracted with Versata Software to develop a large-scale e-commerce platform which included a call center, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software, order entry software, and an integrated web-based front-end. Lands’ End brought suit against Versata Software in March 2006, alleging that Versata failed to deliver a working online catalog system, and that it had infringed on Lands’ End’s proprietary source code.
