Adobe Inc. has successfully defeated a lawsuit brought by investors concerning its abandoned plan to acquire Figma Inc. The lawsuit alleged that Adobe had misled shareholders about the competitive threat posed by Figma and the capabilities of its own design tool, Adobe XD. A U.S. District Judge in the Southern District of New York dismissed the case with finality, stating that the investors failed to provide sufficient evidence that Adobe had made actionable misstatements or misrepresented its strategic merger plans. This ruling removes a significant legal and financial overhang for Adobe, concluding a chapter related to the high-profile, since-abandoned acquisition. The available reports did not contain specific analysis of the market's reaction to this legal victory.
