Ultraframe in a battle over


by Tim Procter


ULTRAFRAME is involved in another court battle over design rights.


: ; The Clitheroe based public com­ pany is well-known in the construc­ tion industry for carefully guarding its patents and "intellectual proper­ ty" of every sort. I t goes to court where necessary to p ro te c t i ts rights.


, - In some cases, firms have accepted


that their use of Ultraframe designs or other material cannot be justified and


have settled the claims out of court. Now Ultraframe is claiming th a t


the'Bumden Group, based in Bolton, has infringed its rights with the greater, p a r t of i ts current and redesigned K2 roof system. A complex web of evidence and


; legal argument has been presented to ,Mr Justice Laddie in the High Court following many months of pre-trial talks with lawyers. On Thursday, the judge issued a


preliminary judgment interpreted by Ultraframe as supporting its case almost entirely. The Bolton firm has issued a-Press release suggesting that the judgment


Court


favours its arguments. A spokesman this week told the Advertiser and Times, th a t i t would be claiming £1.67m in costs from Ultraframe. The local firm expresses surprise at


this and emphasises that further hear­ ings will be taking place. I t is confi­ dent that it will substantiate its case.


.. -The issue is being watched carefully by the glazing and construction trade press. Ultraframe's activities area key ■news source for writers there due to its leading position in the industry, and successful expansion into the USA.' One "on line" publication has


already reported the latest round in the present clash.

Driver who called police after accident was over the limit m


A MOTORIST who called the police when a child's cycle ran into his car smelled of drink when officers arrived, a court heard. So police b re a th tes ted


Stephen Bailey (23), of Little- moor Road, Clitheroe, and he gave a reading of 62 against the permitted maximum of 35. In court a t Blackburn, Bailey


admitted drink driving and was fined £150 with £65 costs and given a year's ban. . He agreed to be referred to a


rehabilitation programme which, if successfully completed, could reduce the ban by a quarter. Miss Phillipa White (prosecut­ ing) said that the defendant was


in no way responsible for the Sat­ urday afternoon accident. The police smelled alcohol on Bailey's breath and he failed a breath test. Mr Stephen Rees (defending)


said that his client was unaware he would be over the limit. He had been to a p a r ty the


night before. "He has never been in any kind


of trouble before and he was not the cause of the accident," point­ ed out Mr Rees.. Loss of his licence would cause


Bailey and his conservatory com­ pany employers problems, as he sometimes had to drive in the course of his work. However, Bailery would not lose his job, said Mr Rees.

completed the race in under 30 minutes was placed, so they were also involved in a team event'", even though they had all entered indi-., vidually. Thea finished in 28 minutes, so
