U.S.-based Natsoft and its subsidiary Updraft have filed a lawsuit against Indian IT services major Hexaware, seeking $500 million for alleged patent violations. The suit claims Hexaware improperly incorporated Natsoft’s tech for automated code testing, legacy modernization, and AI code generation into its own solutions.
The case highlights growing tensions around intellectual property, especially in the fast-moving domain of AI, automation, and enterprise software. In India’s tech services world, such legal battles could redefine boundaries for R&D, partnership, and innovation strategies.
