Nuance/M-Modal Lawsuit Effects Could be Widespread - MT

Posted: Oct 25th, 2017 - 7:14 am

This is posted on the Nuance Board, but the trickle down of something like this could reach many more than just M-Modal employees.  ANY and ALL software that has been sold to smaller MTSOs could fall under this umbrella.  Maybe Nuance is trying to recoup losses, or this is some form of retaliation to recent government investgation.  We cannot speculate why, but one thing for sure is that the lawyers will win from this and maybe not those of us working for companies using products sold/bought/morphed from either of these companies.
