The High Court of Justice, Business and Property Courts of England and Wales, Intellectual Property Enterprise Court, recently delivered a judgment in the case of Equisafety Limited vs Woof Wear Limited. The case centred around allegations of copyright infringement concerning high visibility equestrian products, specifically a waistcoat, an elasticated hat band, and a neck band for a horse.
The case was initiated by Equisafety Limited, a company specialising in equestrian safety gear, claiming that Woof Wear Limited had infringed their copyright by displaying similar products at a trade fair. The products in question were designed to enhance the visibility of horse riders and their mounts.
Initially, the claim was for infringement of registered designs and passing off, but the court granted summary judgment for the defendant on these points. The claim was then amended to focus solely on copyright infringement, specifically as works of artistic craftsmanship under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.
The primary legal questions were whether copyright subsisted in the Claimant's products and whether Equisafety owned the copyright. The court examined whether the products qualified as works of artistic craftsmanship, a category requiring both artistic and craftsmanship elements.
