The accused design
The accused design
The design alleged to infringe (“the Accused Design”) is incorporated in a product made by Steven and Simon Wakefield. It became clear during the trial that it has never gone beyond a prototype and I think that it fair for me to refer to it as ‘the Prototype.
Images of the Prototype appear in Annex 2 to this judgment.
