Ola Electric Faces Legal Battle Over Alleged Data Theft from MapmyIndia

Share

According to a report by Forbes India, CE Info Systems (MapmyIndia’s parent entity) has sent a legal notice to IPO-bound Ola Electric, claiming that the EV startup co-mingled and reverse-engineered its licensed product.

The notice states, “You have duplicated our client’s API (application programming interface) and SDKs (software development kits) from proprietary sources belonging to our client to build OLA Maps. It is firmly stated that our client’s exclusive data has been copied/derived by you to further your illegal motive and for your unjust commercial gains.”

The notice further contests Ola Electric’s assertion of independently developing its API and map data through open sources.ola electric map Ola Electric Faces Legal Battle Over Alleged Data Theft from MapmyIndia https://e-vehicleinfo.com/ola-electric-faces-legal-battle-over-alleged-data-theft-from-mapmyindia/

It accuses Ola Electric of breaching the terms and conditions of their agreement and infringing on the copyright vested in CE Info Systems’ source code. 

Ola Electric has called the allegations ‘false and misleading’. “We will suitably respond to the notice shortly,” said Ola Electric’s spokesperson to Moneycontrol.
