Jumping through hoops? No, settling a claim
UK-based Anti Copying in Design (ACID) has just reported another success, this time relating to the efforts of one of its members to obtain a negotiated settlement in the face of some stubborn and non-cooperative play on the part of the defendant.
The product allegedly infringed was a steering-wheel shaped bicycle storage device. The plaintiff, Cyclehoop, sued defendant Bike-Dock Solutions for design infringement and the case settled just 10 days before Cyclehoop's application for summary judgment was heard by the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court, England and Wales.
Cyclehoop's product is depicted on the left, that of Bike-Dock Solutions on the right.
A full account of the dispute and the events leading to the settlement can be read by clicking the link above.
