Freightmate admits using Flexport documents as trade secrets case settles
Freight-tech start-up Freightmate has acknowledged acquiring and using confidential Flexport shipping documents, and a settlement approved by a California federal court has ended a trade secrets dispute over data used in AI logistics software.
Freightmate, a freight-technology start-up, has acknowledged acquiring and using confidential shipping documents belonging to Flexport, according to the report. The admission came as a settlement brought a closely watched trade secrets dispute to an end.
The settlement was approved by a California federal court yesterday, the report says. The case had raised questions about ownership of data used to develop AI-powered logistics software.
The report also notes a ruling that Freightmate and its founders failed to preserve electronic evidence relevant to the case, which prejudiced Flexport's ability to pursue its claims. The settlement resolves the dispute.
