T & A Textiles and Hosiery Ltd v Hala Textile UK Ltd and others [2015] EWHC 2888 (IPEC), [2015] All ER (D) 217 (Oct)

The Chancery Division considered a claim that eleven distinct bed linen products sold by the first defendant company infringed copyright with respect to eleven original works created by a director and employee of the claimant. The court held that, among other things, the action for copyright infringement would be dismissed, as the products complained of had been imported before the claimant had produced its corresponding designs, and the registered design was invalid.
