SAP asks for mediator in Oracle row

SAP asks for mediation over lawsuit brought against it by Oracle over corporate theft

Written by Kevin Reed

German business software giant SAP has called for a mediated and speedy resolution to the lawsuit brought against it by rival Oracle for corporate theft.

Oracle, which claims that SAP collated its rival's software illegally through downloads, said the pulling together of data and documents would take at least 18 months.

SAP has called for a mediator to help the parties reach a settlement or manage Oracle's claim, reported Reuters.

Oracle said SAP's proposal was an attempt to limit the investigation.

SAP has admitted that subsidiary TomorrowNow downloaded Oracle customer-support documents, but denies Oracle's claim that it put the documents into a library of stolen material.
