    BMC's IBM software-licensing litigation

    BMC prevailed at trial in a dispute alleging that IBM fraudulently induced and subsequently breached a software-licensing agreement. The trial-level damages award exceeded $1.6 billion. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit later overturned the result, holding that the lower court's liability determination was erroneous. The appellate discussion included the conclusion that AT&T had moved to IBM software independently and that BMC had lost the relevant business through fair competition.
