 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Oracle Corp. on Thursday accused SAP AG of hacking into its computers to heist secret product information in a lawsuit that escalates the animosity that had already been building between two of the world's largest business software makers.
"This is about more than just protecting intellectual property," said Forrester Research analyst Ray Wang. "This is about product support and the art of war."
The complaint, filed in a San Francisco federal court, alleges that Germany-based SAP resorted to high-tech skullduggery in a desperate attempt to maintain its leadership in business applications software — programs that help companies manage a wide range of administrative tasks.
