IBM告贏LzLabs!盜取商業機密案倫敦勝訴,科技大亨摩爾斯敗訴




IBM在倫敦贏得訴訟,指控LzLabs竊取商業機密

倫敦(路透社) – IBM於週一在倫敦贏得了一宗訴訟,對象是美國科技企業家及慈善家約翰·穆爾斯(John Moores)所擁有的公司LzLabs,IBM指控該公司竊取商業機密。

IBM在高等法院起訴總部位於瑞士的LzLabs及其兩家英國子公司,並指控穆爾斯,這位曾擁有美國職業棒球大聯盟(Major League Baseball)聖地牙哥教士隊(San Diego Padres)並於1980年創立信息技術公司BMC Software的人。

IBM聲稱,LzLabs的英國子公司Winsopia於2013年購買了一台IBM大型主機,並與IBM簽訂了一份許可協議,隨後利用這個許可來逆向工程IBM的主機軟件。

LzLabs和穆爾斯對此訴訟提出抗辯,聲稱LzLabs在近十年的努力下開發了自己的軟件,並沒有不當使用IBM的授權軟件。

然而,高等法院大部分支持IBM的主張,法官芬諾拉·奧法瑞爾(Finola O’Farrell)在書面裁決中表示,Winsopia違反了IBM軟件許可的條款,而且「LzLabs和穆爾斯先生非法促成了這些違約行為。」

週一的裁決是在去年進行的審判之後作出的,該審判旨在確定被告是否對IBM負有責任,並將在適當時候進一步聽證以確定任何賠償金。

IBM對另一家英國子公司LzLabs Limited及其現任和前任CEO的案件則被駁回。

IBM和LzLabs尚未立即對此事作出回應,穆爾斯也尚未能夠聯繫上以作進一步評論。

評論

這宗案件揭示了科技行業中知識產權和商業機密保護的重要性。隨著技術的快速發展,企業之間的競爭越來越激烈,竊取商業機密的行為也層出不窮。IBM作為行業巨頭,必須保護其創新成果,以維持其市場領導地位。而這一判決不僅對IBM本身具有重要意義,也可能對其他科技公司起到警示作用,提醒他們在技術開發過程中遵循合法途徑。

此外,LzLabs的辯護理由雖然強調了自我開發的重要性,但在法律的框架下,如何界定「合法使用」和「非法竊取」仍然是一個複雜的問題。這種情況也反映出,未來企業在技術創新時,必須更加謹慎,以避免法律風險。

Use my uploaded female subject as the ONLY face reference — her face, bone structure, proportions, and identity must remain 100% accurate. She is sitting low and relaxed on a worn vintage couch inside a messy 90s-era bedroom, dripping with grunge attitude and self-confidence. The entire room tells a story of obsession — the walls are completely covered in posters, photos, magazine clippings, and polaroids of HER, all different versions of her: glam looks, grungy looks, party looks, soft looks, edgy looks, all chaotic and layered, taped and pinned unevenly like a shrine to herself. Wardrobe: She wears an oversized, slouchy dark hoodie left open, revealing a white tube top underneath. The outfit is provocative but raw — lots of exposed skin at the waist, collarbones, shoulders, and legs. The vibe is unapologetically sexy, rebellious, and confident. Bare legs or very short bottoms, worn sneakers or socks, very lived-in 90s styling.
Hair & makeup: Hair is messy, slightly undone, effortlessly sexy. Makeup is grungy-glam — smoky eyes, dark liner, slightly smudged, natural but seductive skin texture. No over-polish.
Pose & expression:
She sits back into the couch with dominant, careless confidence — legs apart or casually stretched, shoulders relaxed. Her expression is sultry, knowing, and powerful, like she’s fully aware the entire room revolves around her. She looks down toward the camera, owning the frame.
Camera & composition:
The camera is placed very low on the floor, angled sharply upward toward her, creating dramatic depth perception. Her legs and body feel larger in the foreground, her face looming above, while the poster-covered walls stretch upward behind her, creating a warped, immersive perspective. Slight wide-angle distortion for intensity. Lighting: Moody, low-light bedroom lighting — a mix of cool blue tones and dirty warm highlights. Neon or lamp glow spills across the posters. Shadows fall unevenly across the room, adding grit and texture. Film grain, subtle motion blur energy, raw 90s music-video atmosphere. Overall vibe: Sexy, grungy, chaotic, self-obsessed 4.
