A federal judge in Detroit on Monday threw out a jury verdict ordering Ford Motor Co. to pay Versata Software Inc. $104.6 million for breaching a 2004 licensing contract and misappropriating trade secrets.
U.S. District Judge Matthew Leitman said that while Versata Software, which licensed software to Ford from 1998 to 2015, offered sufficient evidence of a contract breach, it did not offer evidence to let jurors calculate damages accurately.
