The Unistrut Catalog and the Unistrut Patent

[Mini Fast]

The Unistrut catalog is an indispensable guide to the products available for metal framing. With more than two hundred pages devoted to different metal framing products, the Unistrut engineering catalog is an essential resource for construction professionals. With a wide variety of options available, the metal framing channel can be used for a wide range of structural applications. It is a popular choice for medical equipment support structures, rooftop walkways, catwalks, and ceiling grids.

The first edition of the Unistrut catalog contained an illustration of a bed. The defendants admitted to copying the illustration but deleted it from the second edition. The court included other illustrations that were present in both catalogs in the damages computation. This decision demonstrates that the plaintiffs failed to produce any compelling evidence to prove their claims. The judge concluded that the plaintiffs failed to produce sufficient evidence of copying. The case will now proceed to trial.

In this case, the plaintiffs' copyrights are infringed by a third-party distributor. Moreover, they have provided extensive proof of the copying. The court has held that the defendants' copyrights are not infringed by the defendants' catalogues because they have obtained prior publication and public use of the Unistrut patent. As a result, the defendants have been forced to settle the case.
