We are pleased with the results on the initial batches of issued claims, as we have found that 80% of all defendants opt for settlements outside of court, for amounts more than originally claimed.
Copyright infringers generally buckle when litigation is formally initiated. Our experience shows that most will seek an out of court settlement and offer to pay costs to date. It has always been our intention to set a favourable precedent and whilst it is disappointing that these settlements mean that a fully contested case has yet to reached the courts, our client's have been successful in recovering monies lost to piracy. Based on these successes, we have been instructed to increase the number of claims we issue at court by at least 300% over the coming months. We are confident that we will be able to set a number favourable precedents to build on the existing case law in 2010.
The intellectual property department at ACS Law has been going from strength to strength. We have been in the news recently and as a direct result of the increased publicity, we are pleased to announce the acquisition of substantial new clients, including a number of well known songwriters and software companies. In order to fully service our new clients, we will be doubling the size of our team in the very near future.
Exciting times ahead. |
