The Accenture consulting firm in New York filed a lawsuit yesterday accusing Guidewire Software Inc. of patent infringement and misappropriation of trade secrets involved with Accenture claims management technology.
The company, in an action filed in the U.S. District Court in Wilmington, Del., said Guidewire infringed its patent protecting Accenture Claim Components Solution, an insurance claims management technology that Accenture licenses to the insurance industry.
In response, John Raguin, Guidewire's chief executive officer, said in a statement that his firm “did not and would not misappropriate trade secrets or willfully infringe on any patents. We conduct our business with the utmost integrity. We will review the details of the allegations and respond in the appropriate manner.”
