Prolyte Successfully Fights Copyright Infringement
During the recent Pro Light + Sound exhibition in Frankfurt, Prolyte report that they successfully filed a claim in respect of a copyright infringement against Guangzhou Kingway Performance Equipment.
This lawsuit resulted in a preliminary injunction, delivered by the bailiff on the Saturday of the show, ordering the company to remove all catalogues laid open to the public. Catalogues from two separate stands in hall 8 and in hall 4.1 were confiscated as well as promotional banners.
Marina Prak, marketing manager from Prolyte Products Group stated: “Copyright issues and intellectual property rights have become a big issue for our industry. Facing the fact that companies not only steal your ideas or copy your products, but also boldly use your own pictures and drawings is frustrating. It is crucial to fight counterfeiting right from the start, infringers -especially from China - often change direction if they encounter resistance, and go for an easier target. Hopefully the forceful proceedings at Frankfurt will make a clear message. If we want to keep the industry sound, we will have to stop companies from infringing property rights.”
Prolyte expressed the hope that branch organisations will support companies who act against copyright infringement and will develop an active policy against copying.
Prolyte say they will continue their active policy to protect her intellectual property rights and patent rights. For any further information please contact Marina Prak on mprak@prolyte.com.
