Boeing Faces Lawsuit for Alleged Theft of NASA Rocket Tools and IP
Wilson Aerospace is suing Boeing for allegedly stealing its intellectual property, specifically a tool called Fluid Fitting Torque Device-3, which is used to attach four main engines to the Space Launch System rocket. Boeing had reached out to Wilson in 2014 to use the tool, but Wilson claims that Boeing used information from a demonstration to work with Wilson's competitors to develop a cheaper solution. Wilson Aerospace seeks a jury trial and punitive damages for what it claims as theft of its property.
