i-Clean Systems has agreed a settlement of its copyright infringement claim against Lynn Webster Consultants Limited in respect of the unauthorised reproduction of parts of its i-Clean Efficiency Review.
 
Commenting on the case, i-Clean managing director Mike Boxall said 'We are pleased to have now brought this matter to a close. We invested a great deal of time and effort into developing our innovative benchmarking process and are determined to take action against any organisation that infringes our intellectual property. Aside from the clear financial risk of passing off someone else's work as your own, it's also important for organisations to understand the reputational damage that can be caused when clients find out that work held out as belonging to them, in fact belongs to us, potentially compromising the client as well.
