Vermont Timber Works Wins Fees from Timberpeg!

From Case 1:03-cv-00462-SM Document 236 Filed 09/30/10 "....the
court will award the prevailing defendants $35,000.00 in
attorney’s fees."

In this case, Timberpeg demanded $25,000 from VTW to settle a copyright infringement case when Isbitski, our mutual client, chose to build with VTW instead of Timberpeg. After seven brutal years of legal battle, Vermont Timber Works has prevailed and Timberpeg must pay VTW $35,000.00.

While the award of fees is not nearly enough to cover all the legal costs in the case, hopefully it will deter litigants from pursuing copyright infringement cases that are fundamentally weak on the merits.
