A U.S. federal judge granted Palantir Technologies' request to block two former employees from soliciting its staff. The employees founded the AI firm Percepta AI. Palantir filed the lawsuit in October. The company alleges the defendants used confidential information to establish a "copycat" firm.
The judge denied Palantir's request to stop the defendants from working at Percepta. The former employees may continue building their business. The court barred the defendants from breaching confidentiality agreements.
The ruling provides a mixed outcome for Palantir's efforts to protect its intellectual property and workforce.
