U.S. Court Dismisses Natsoft Patent Suit Against Hexaware

A federal judge in Illinois has dismissed a patent infringement lawsuit brought by Natsoft Corporation against Hexaware Technologies, ruling that the nine patents in question relied on broad, abstract concepts ineligible for legal protection. The decision effectively clears Hexaware of claims targeting its proprietary digital platforms.

The United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois issued the ruling on June 9, 2026, finding that Natsoft’s claims lacked the concrete, specific invention required for patent validity. By dismissing the federal claims, the Court also declined to maintain jurisdiction over related state-law allegations. While the plaintiffs have been granted a window to file an amended complaint, the current dismissal marks a significant legal victory for the Mumbai-based IT services provider.

Hexaware has consistently maintained that its Amaze, Tensai, and RapidX platforms are the result of years of internal research and substantial financial investment. Unlike the patents asserted by Natsoft, the company’s own technology has secured independent U.S. patent protection. CEO Srikrishna Ramakarthikeyan stated that the ruling validates the company's long-standing position that the lawsuit was meritless. Hexaware confirmed that the litigation has had no material impact on its operations, partner commitments, or financial standing, and the firm remains prepared to defend its intellectual property should the case proceed.
