We recently advised a large national distributor whose operations include over 400 stores on an alleged patent, copyright and unregistered design right infringement with potentially significant sums due to the level of sales of the alleged infringing products.

  Our knowledge of the clients’ business and wholesale and retail operation assisted with the defence of the claim and the case successfully settled before trial.
