Jury Awards $28.4 Million In F-16 Software Competition Suit

In Command Tech., Inc. v. Lockheed Martin Corp. et al., a Montgomery County, Maryland jury found Lockheed Martin Corp. liable to Command Technology Inc. for illegally interfering with Command Technology’s efforts to sell competing technical maintenance software for F-16 jet fighters resold to American allies.  According to Command Technology’s complaint, Lockheed allegedly sought to lock up the market for maintenance software for the jet, which it manufactures, and falsely claimed that Command Technology’s software and user manuals used for maintenance and upgrades, didn’t comply with government standards.  Following a trial, the jury found that Lockheed competed unfairly with Command Technology and tortiously interfered with Command Technology’s business relationship, awarding economic damages of $24.8 million.
