Accel-backed BrowserStack dragged to Court by US-based rival Deque Systems

BrowserStack, a mobile and web software testing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) unicorn, has been dragged to the US District Court by Virginia-based rival Deque Systems over Intellectual Property (IP) theft allegations.

Deque Systems had filed a lawsuit based on a series of allegations including copyright infringement, breach of contract, and false advertising, sources aware of the development told Moneycontrol.

The firm has filed a complaint with the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia in March of 2024.

According to Deque Systems' complaint, BrowserStack entered the accessibility testing market in 2023 with a replica of 'axe DevTools browser extension' which is part of Deque's proprietary accessibility testing product.

Accessibility testing is a process of making web and mobile applications easily accessible to people with disabilities such as visual, hearing, mobility, and cognitive impairment.
