Southwest Airlines Co. v. Farechase, Inc.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that the plaintiff had stated a plausible CFAA claim, where the plaintiff's complaint made similar allegations that the defendant improperly accessed Southwest's data through an automated scraping device
• holding that the use of a scraper to glean flight information was unauthorized as it interfered with Southwest’s use and possession of its site, even if the scraping did not cause physical harm or deprivation
• denying a motion to dismiss a claim under Texas Penal Code § 33.02 and noting that “[Plaintiff] has alleged that [Defendant] has knowingly accessed [Plaintiff’s] computer system without effective consent, and continues to do so” which was sufficient at the 12(b)(6) stage
• “Southwest alleges in its Complaint that Outtask’s Cliqbook product is in competition with Southwest’s SWABIZ product; that is enough to state a claim for misappropriation.”
