The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals previously established that TCS acted with conscious disregard for CSC’s proprietary rights, leading to an initial $168 million damages award. Interest accumulation over the course of the litigation pushed the final recovery figure past the $213 million mark. The ruling serves as a definitive closure to allegations that TCS engaged in intentional theft of sensitive corporate data.

DXC Secures $213 Million Payout After Supreme Court Ruling on TCS
A protracted legal battle over intellectual property ended this week as DXC Technology confirmed the collection of $213,560,494.98 from Tata Consultancy Services. The payment follows a final refusal by the Supreme Court to overturn lower court findings that TCS willfully and maliciously misappropriated trade secrets from DXC subsidiary Computer Sciences Corporation.
Raul Fernandez, President and CEO of DXC, characterized the outcome as a necessary defense of corporate integrity. He noted that in an era increasingly defined by AI development, the protection of intellectual property is paramount to maintaining the foundational trust between technology partners and their clients. For DXC, the resolution marks a strategic victory in its broader efforts to enforce competitive standards and protect its internal innovation pipeline.
