Instacart has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in Eastern Texas after Cornershop violated a cease-and-desist order relating to unauthorized use of Instacart catalog descriptions. Cornershop based in Chile recently entered the U.S. market but on July 7th Uber Technologies announced that it acquired a majority shareholding to expand on-demand grocery delivery service in Latin America and Canada.

Instacart alleges that Cornershop “Is engaging in a systematic effort to illegally steal the Instacart proprietary catalog while attempting to conceal that theft for its own commercial benefit.”

Instacart is rated as the largest provider of online grocery delivery services in the U.S. operating with 400 retail locations. The Company claims to have spent $17 million on developing a digital repository including images, product descriptions, pricing information, and other data which it alleges has been illegally used by Cornershop.
