 In October 2009, Reed Construction Data (which is now CMD Group, a division of ConstructCONNECT) filed suit in federal court against McGraw-Hill Construction, charging that the company's Dodge Report had unlawfully accessed confidential and trade secret information from Reed since 2002 by using a series of fake companies to pose as Reed customers.The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, sought an unspecified amount in lost profits and punitive damages, trial by jury, and injunctive relief as a result of Dodge's misuse of proprietary construction project information, and that Dodge allegedly manipulated the information to create misleading comparisons between Dodge's and Reed's products and services in an effort to mislead the marketplace.In 2016, CMD Group became a part of ConstructConnect as part of a merger with iSqFt, BidClerk, Construction Data.
