OpenEvidence and Doximity have settled their legal dispute, ending a case that included accusations of corporate espionage and doctor impersonation. A federal judge in Massachusetts dismissed the case with prejudice; the companies will cover their own legal fees, and other terms were not disclosed.
The conflict began when OpenEvidence sued Doximity, alleging that Doximity's CTO and AI director used national provider identifier numbers to pose as physicians and prompt OpenEvidence's AI to reveal proprietary code. Doximity countersued for defamation, citing emails and public comparisons it called misleading. OpenEvidence later dropped its trade-secret claims and focused on anti-hacking allegations.
With the litigation over, both companies are expanding their clinical AI offerings. OpenEvidence has partnered with Anthropic and health systems and reports over 700,000 monthly active users, representing about 65% of U.S. physicians. Doximity says its platform is used by more than 165 health systems and has partnered with Wolters Kluwer to integrate UpToDate content.
