MarketDial Wins Lawsuits Filed Against Them By Mastercard Subsidiary
A federal court has ruled in MarketDial's favor in two separate lawsuits filed by a Mastercard subsidiary. Accused of patent infringement and trade secret misappropriation, MarketDial has been embroiled in a legal battle with the credit card giant for six years, working to combat the charges while endeavoring to grow as an emerging startup in the retail in-store testing space.
一家联邦法院在万事达的附属公司提起的两起起诉中判定支持 MarketDial。MarketDial被指控侵犯专利和盗窃商业机密，在零售店门店测试领域作为新兴公司努力成长的同时，与信用卡巨头进行了长达六年的法律争斗，努力打破指控。
The lawsuits started when Mastercard's subsidiary Applied Predictive Technologies claimed that MarketDial had infringed on patents and had stolen trade secrets. After years of litigation, however, the courts ruled that the technology in question was not eligible for patent protection and that Mastercard failed to identify any protectable trade secrets that had allegedly been stolen.
起诉始于万事达的附属公司应用预测技术公司声称MarketDial侵犯了专利并窃取了商业机密。然而，多年的诉讼后，法院判定，有关技术不符合专利保护条件，所有被指控窃取的商业机密均难以获得任何保护。
