- Court Ruling: On December 9, 2025, the Superior Court of New Jersey ruled in favor of Tropare, confirming that D&B breached its contractual obligations regarding the use of Tropare's proprietary Data Selection Tool (DST), establishing a strong foundation for Tropare's ongoing litigation.
- Conclusive Evidence: Judge Keith E. Lynott's 15-page Statement of Reasons highlighted that D&B's internal documents and video evidence clearly demonstrated the breach, indicating that D&B was not servicing their shared customer, Sprint, but rather attempting to develop a competing tool to replace Tropare's technology.
- Claim Amount: Tropare's CEO Greg Carpenter stated that the company expects to prevail on remaining claims, seeking damages that are anticipated to exceed $100 million, reflecting Tropare's firm stance on protecting its intellectual property rights.
- Legal Representation: Tropare is represented by legal teams from OlenderFeldman LLP and Adkisson Pitet LLP, showcasing the company's robust legal support in complex commercial litigation, which further strengthens its market position in data management solutions.
