Palantir Percepta AI Lawsuit: Stifling Competition or Protecting Secrets?
The Palantir Percepta AI lawsuit intensifies as the startup accuses the tech giant of using legal action to stifle competition and scare employees from leaving.
"Palantir is looking to scare others." That's the bold claim from executives at Percepta AI, a startup currently locked in a fierce legal battle with data analytics giant Palantir. The dispute highlights the escalating tensions between established tech titans and the agile startups founded by their former employees.
Palantir Percepta AI Lawsuit and the Battle for Intellectual Property
The conflict began in October 2025, when Palantir filed a lawsuit in the Southern District of New York. The company, led by CEO Alex Karp, accused Percepta AI co-founders Hirsh Jain and Radha Jain of using stolen trade secrets to build a "copycat" business and poaching top-tier talent from their former employer.
In a recent filing this week, lawyers for the defendants argued that Palantir's interpretation of post-employment agreements is meant to "stifle competition." They claim the materials allegedly taken by employee Joanna Cohen were captured in "good faith" for task completion and are now "stale" and useless to the startup. Percepta asserts that the lawsuit is a tactical move to destroy their company before it can achieve significant growth.
