Cognizant accuses Infosys of 'fishing expedition'

BENGALURU: In a new development in the ongoing Infosys-Cognizant trade secrets dispute, recent legal filings from Cognizant have revealed that Infosys 's counterclaims do not accuse CEO Ravi Kumar of any anticompetitive behaviour following his transition to Cognizant in 2023. In its submission to the court, the Nasdaq-listed firm said that Infosys's actions amounted to a 'fishing expedition', causing undue burden and inconvenience to both Kumar and Cognizant. Cognizant argued that Infosys has not presented evidence suggesting Kumar undermined the progress of its healthcare platform, Helix. Cognizant's legal team maintains that all claims advanced by Infosys pertain solely to Kumar's period at Infosys, not his tenure at Cognizant. The filing further asserts that Infosys's request for documents from Kumar's time at Cognizant-after raising concerns over trade secrets and invoking non-compete agreements-is without legal merit. Cognizant had acquired the healthcare software business TriZetto for $2.7 billion in 2014. TriZetto's flagship products, Facets and QNXT, process health insurance claims for millions across the US, relying on confidential trade secrets. Cognizant alleges that Infosys misused these secrets to create its own test case library for Facets, putting it in direct and allegedly unfair competition with TriZetto. Infosys, in turn, has made counterclaims, accusing Cognizant of hindering its development of a rival platform.

No relief on sanctions in US nuclear deal proposal, says Iran

Iran's parliament speaker said on Sunday that the latest US proposal for a nuclear deal does not include the lifting of sanctions, state media reported as negotiations appeared to have hit a roadblock. The two foes have held five rounds of Omani-mediated talks since April, seeking to replace a landmark agreement between Tehran and world powers that set restrictions on Iran's nuclear activities in return for sanctions relief, before US President Donald Trump abandoned the accord in 2018 during his first term. In a video aired on Iranian state TV, parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said that "the US plan does not even mention the lifting of sanctions". He called it a sign of dishonesty, accusing the Americans of seeking to impose a "unilateral" agreement that Tehran would not accept. "The delusional US president should know better and change his approach if he is really looking for a deal," Ghalibaf said. On May 31, after the fifth round of talks, Iran said it had received "elements" of a US proposal, with officials later taking issue with "ambiguities" in the draft text. The US and its Western allies have long accused the Islamic republic of seeking to acquire nuclear weapons, a charge Iran has consistently denied, insisting that its atomic programme was solely for peaceful purposes. Key issues in the negotiations have been the removal of biting economic sanctions and uranium enrichment. Tehran says it has the right to enrich uranium under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, while the Trump administration has called any Iranian enrichment a "red line". Trump, who has revived his "maximum pressure" campaign of sanctions on Iran since taking office in January, has repeatedly said it will not be allowed any uranium enrichment under a potential deal. On Tuesday, Iran's top negotiator, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, said the country "will not ask anyone for permission to continue enriching uranium". According to the UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Iran is the only non-nuclear-weapon state in the world that enriches uranium up to 60 percent -- close to the 90 percent threshold needed for a nuclear warhead. Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday rejected the latest US proposal and said enrichment was "key" to Iran's nuclear programme. The IAEA Board of Governors is scheduled to meet in Vienna starting Monday and discuss Iran's nuclear activities. On Sunday the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran warned it could reduce its level of cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog if it adopts a resolution against it. "Certainly, the IAEA should not expect the Islamic Republic of Iran to continue its broad and friendly cooperation," the Iranian agency's spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi told state TV. Araghchi on Friday accused European powers of "opting for malign action against Iran at the IAEA Board of Governors", warning on X that "Iran will react strongly against any violation of its rights". A quarterly report from the IAEA issued last week cited a "general lack of cooperation" from Iran and raised concerns over undeclared nuclear material. Tehran has rejected the report as politically motivated and based on "forged documents" it said had been provided by its arch foe Israel.

Trump ‘BLOCKS' Congress Sanctions Against Putin, GOP Senators Too Scared To Protest?

/ Jun 09, 2025, 01:08AM IST A legislation set to be tabled by a Republican senator seeking more sanctions on Russia has been stalled. According to a Bloomberg report, the bill has been stalled due to U.S. President Donald Trump's opposition. The legislation calls for a 500 per cent tariff on countries that buy Russian energy, uranium, and other raw materials. According to the report, Trump had said he had not even looked at the bill, adding he would consider sanctions "at the right time".
