The plaintiff moved for summary judgment alleging the defendant, a competitor, infringed copyright in its quotation, contract, and limited warranty forms.
The Federal Court granted the motion, finding there was no genuine issue for trial.
The Court found copyright subsisted in the works as they were the product of the author's skill and judgment, and that the defendant had access to the works and substantially reproduced them.
The Court granted an injunction and awarded statutory damages of $24,000, assessed on a per-work basis rather than per-infringement.
