Chevron USA sued IBS for damages and intellectual property right violations over software licensed to Chevron for land management of its oil and gas properties. Chevron re-engineered the software for use in their business. Chevron asserted the software had bugs and that they owned the intellectual rights to the code. IBS claimed that Chevron created an unauthorized derivative work by converting COBOL to Windows code. IBS sought to block Chevron from using the software in the future.
