According to the plaintiff, Pennymac stole its mortgage-processing system and created one of its own.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lawsuit, filed in the Fourth Judicial Circuit Court in and for Duval County, Florida, sought $340 million in damages and injunctive relief under the Florida Uniform Trade Secrets Act and declaratory judgment of ownership of all intellectual property and software developed by or on behalf of Pennymac.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In March 2020, the companies entered arbitration.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than three years later, the arbitrator awarded, in part,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.housingwire.com\/tag\/black-knight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Black Knight<\/a>&#8216;s breach of contract claim and denied the claims of trade secrets misappropriation and injunctive and declaratory relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The arbitrator concluded (wrongfully in our view) that Pennymac&#8217;s access to MSP allowed it to increase the speed of developing SSE and awarded Black Knight lost profits in the form of licensing fees it would have otherwise received from Pennymac over a longer development period,&#8221; Pennymac said in an 8-K filing with the<strong>\u00a0Securities and Exchange Commission<\/strong>\u00a0(SEC).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.housingwire.com\/articles\/ice-completes-11-7b-acquisition-of-black-knight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ICE,<\/a> the new owner of Black Knight, said in a statement that it &#8220;will continue to seek the robust protections afforded to trade secrets and confidential information under federal and state law, including in products developed using its confidential information.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Pennymac, the accrual related to the interim award will be recorded in the fourth-quarter earnings, with an impact of $2.85 per share.
