Oracle could claim £500m in damages from SAP

Lawyers for Oracle give their first public indication of the scale of its lawsuit with SAP

Written by Janie Davies

Oracle could sue German rival SAP for at least $1bn (£500m), say the US software maker's lawyers.

SAP and its TomorrowNow subsidiary have been accused of illegally downloading data from an Oracle support web site and using it to target Oracle's customers.

Despite acknowledging that some "inappropriate" downloads had occurred at TomorrowNow, SAP says its subsidiary was authorised to download the material from Oracle's web site on behalf of its own customers.
