A federal judge in San Francisco has largely turned back a request from SAP SE to toss out claims that it pilfered trade secrets and copyrights from a former joint venture partner to create its own competing product.

Enterprise data analytics and warehousing company Teradata Inc. and its lawyers at Morrison & Foerster sued SAP in June claiming that the German enterprise software giant used the companies’ joint venture as an avenue to access Teradata’s trade secrets and copyrights so SAP could develop its own analytics tool, SAP HANA, which launched in 2010.
