Ralli successfully defends clients accused of downloading copyrighted material
Thu 5th Jan 12 - 17:01

Ralli has successfully conducted another case in the London Patents County Court involving downloading copyrighted material from the internet with the claimant abandoning its claim and having to pay costs.

Ralli has previously successfully defended a number of individuals in the precedent cases relating to copyright infringement over peer to peer networks.

Michael Forrester, Associate in the Intellectual Property and Information Technology team commented:

"We advised from an early stage that our client had good prospects of defending the claim. Our client had protested her innocence from the start and the final outcome shows the strength of her defence.

Like previous matters of this nature, the present case involved complex legal and technical principles. These are extremely difficult for a lay person to understand and can lead to an innocent person being pursued.

If individuals are faced with matters of this nature, they are urged to contact us at an early stage."

Ralli were able to act for the Defendant in this matter on a no win, no fee basis. If you are involved in a similar claim, contact harassment@ralli.co.uk for a free assessment of your case.
