Thwaites slaps injunction on Barford

Dumper manufacturer Thwaites has obtained a temporary injunction
against Barford Site Dumpers, part of Wordsworth Holdings.
The injunction stops the sale of some models in Barford's new dumper range. It claims infringement of copyright and design right by the new Barford SX5000, SX6000, SX7000 and SXR5000 (rotary skip) machine.
Wordsworth Holdings strongly refutes all of the allegations and states that it will defend its position tenaciously. Indeed it 'looks forward to the opportunity at trial of having its position fully vindicated.'
Thwaites is primarily concerned about protecting its engineering ideas although it is understood that these have never been patented.
Barford says it has delivered 37 dumpers in March which is a brisk start for a new product in a mature sector. Thwaites has given an undertaking to the court to recompense Barford for possible losses if it is prevented from supplying some models in its new range. If Barford wins then Thwaites may be in for a substantial financial headache.
