Telefónica Condemned for Plagiarizing Educational Software in La Rioja
A Logroño court rules that the company used a Grupo Pancorbo solution without permission.
A Spanish court has ruled that Telefónica Soluciones de Informática y Comunicaciones de España infringed the copyright of Sistemas de Oficina de Rioja, a local company, by misusing its educational software in a public contract. The court ordered Telefónica to immediately cease the infringing activity, prohibited its future resumption, and required the company to pay court costs.
The case dates back to 2017, when Telefónica won a tender to virtualize computer desktops for schools in La Rioja, using technology developed by Sistemas de Oficina de Rioja. In a separate case, the Audiencia Nacional has ratified a tariff of 0.07 cents per minute that Telefónica must apply to Vodafone for emergency calls.
