Complaint and Summons

On October 23, 2003, T-Peg and Timberpeg East filed suit in federal court against Vermont Timber Works alleging an architectural copyright infringement, unjust enrichment, unfair competition, and New Hampshire Consumer Protection Act violations in this public Complaint and Summons. In 2004, after depositions T-Peg and Timberpeg East moved to amend the case to sue me personally. Since then, and until winning the case in 2009, my house and livelihood were literally on the line. Legal expenses grew to unbelievable levels, over 200 public documents were filed in the case and I spent countless nights reviewing filings and not sleeping. All the while knowing that I did not copy Timberpeg's architectural work as T-Peg alleged.

Every count, except the architectural copyright infringement, was dismissed or not pursued early on. Eventually, six years later, VTW and I won the last and final charge of copyright infringement. A jury of 8 people found that VTW and I did not copy T-Peg's architectural work.
