Sued by IntelliCAD Consortium for Source Code Misappropriation, Pays $4.2 Million Settlement
The IntelliCAD Technology Consortium (ITC) sued Gstarsoft in the U.S. District Court for Oregon, alleging that GstarCAD 8 and later versions misappropriated its source code and infringed copyright and trade secrets; Gstarsoft said it developed the software independently. In April 2021, the parties reached a global settlement under which Gstarsoft paid $4.2 million, with neither side admitting liability.
