US firm files antitrust complaint against SAP

BRUSSELS — A U.S. software company has asked European Union regulators to stop Germany’s SAP from tactics that it says illegally exclude it from a lucrative market for programs that help companies price their products.

Austin, Texas-based Versata claims that SAP deliberately refused to share information on its widely-used business planning software, cloned its own version of Versata’s pricing program and gave it away for free with SAP’s planning platform.

Versata’s lawyer Thomas Vinje says the case filed Tuesday is very similar to complaints he led against Microsoft for software developers who wanted to access key information to make compatible products.
