IBM is competing with Palantir via a product called Analyst's Notebook, which they bought from a company called i2 a while back. Prior to the buyout, i2 sued Palantir over how Palantir's "import from Analyst's Notebook" functionality had been implemented.
It's entirely possible that there are other things going on between Palantir and IBM, but I'm not aware of any other specific squabbles.
Disclosure: I worked at Palantir from mid 2009 to early 2014 and still own some stock.
- bane 9y agoTo be clear, the suit that i2 filed alleged that Palantir stole trade secrets and requested that the suit move forward under RICO law (an anti-Racketeering law meant to fight organized crime). The judge agreed and Palantir settled almost immediately after. i2 then sold to IBM almost immediately after that. The employees on Palantir's side who were involved also kept their jobs. That sends a really powerful message about who they are. https://www.scribd.com/doc/36371667/i2-v-palantir-080910 https://www.scribd.com/doc/36371667/i2-v-palantir-080910
