Following a four-day trial, a federal court jury found in favor of Ellis George client Brighton Collectibles on its claim that defendant AIF Corporation d/b/a Time World and Global Time sold knockoff watches that infringed upon Brighton’s copyrighted designs. During the trial, AIF denied infringement and claimed that it had sold only about $25,000 of the accused watches. Ellis George lead trial counsel Peter W. Ross, however, argued to the jury that AIF had failed to produce adequate, reliable evidence of its infringing sales. The jury agreed, awarding Brighton $1 million. This verdict is the latest in a series of trial victories by Ross and Ellis George partner Keith Wesley in their continuing efforts to protect Brighton against knockoffs. Prior wins include a $10.8 million verdict against Marc Chantal and an $8 million verdict against Coldwater Creek.
