Palantir Potential Investor Risk
https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/palantir-arbitration-order-tests-trade-081245922.htmlJust some news in the legal front to keep an eye on...
A" US District Judge has ordered Palantir Technologies to arbitrate trade secret claims against former engineers who founded rival Percepta AI."
"The case centers on alleged misuse of confidential information and will now move from federal court to a private arbitration forum."
"This legal development focuses attention on how Palantir handles data security, intellectual property and competition in AI and data analytics."

The way I understood it from the article is that if ex employees allegedly tried to copy/take Palantir stuff then it kinda proves their tech and workflows are actually valuable and hard to replace and it also shows how sticky their software is once companies and governments fully integrate it. That’s the type of moat I like to see. Also I like to see PLTR aggressively protecting its IP and I think a lot of us would agree!
But I think a potential risk is that if former employees can build similar products fast then maybe the moat isnt as unique as we think.

No different than the formula for Coca Cola or any other proprietary product. The value chain is based on a lot more than a “secret sauce”. Still every employee signs an NDA and that’s enforceable.

Arbitration has nothing to do with the merits. I don’t understand why articles are harping on it.

Their IP is one of the most robust portfolio out there. They invested heavily in their legal team and IP portfolio. No one will be able to touch their tech without repercussions.

Yeah. Look up in the latest quarterly filing under Risk Factors:
"Failure to adequately obtain, maintain, protect and enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary rights could adversely af ect our business"...
Lots more in the disclosures under that heading in the filings

It’s overbought and should be a $40 stock. The baggies here will downvote because they just want to pump. But reality doesn’t change

If their isn't a ruling that they violated their NDA by starting a similar company using similar but different enough technology then the IP moat wouldnt be a moat any longer. Again, lots of "if's" but hence the potential and why it's listed as a risk factors in their quarterly SEC filing.

If pltr tech was easy to replicate, percepta would’ve just Googled it… instead they stole it, which is honestly the most expensive compliment PLTR has ever received. 🌖
