In April, a Wisconsin jury ruled in favor of Epic in a lawsuit alleging Mumbai, India-based Tata Consultancy Services stole trade secrets and confidential information from the vendor. The jury awarded Verona, Wis.-based Epic $240 million in compensatory damages and $700 million in punitive damages.
However, Wisconsin law restricts punitive damages to be a maximum of double compensatory damages, so Epic requested the awarded punitive damages to be decreased to $480 million, according to the report.
Given the request, the new award would total $720 million.
