The Delaware Court of Chancery has denied a defendant’s motion to dismiss a cybertheft case on forum non conveniens grounds, ruling that the defendants did not meet the “high but clearable bar” of the overwhelming hardship standard.

The plaintiff, an Indian corporation named Pipal Tech Ventures Private Ltd., claimed that its two founders and former executives, Raviteja Dodda and Yashwanth Kumar, stole an application from the company and placed it into MoEngage Inc., a Delaware corporation.
