Karndean continues to defend copyright in award winning designs

Karndean recently took action in the Federal Court of Australia alleging that its copyright in the design known as the "Van Gogh Barnwood" design had been infringed. As a result of that action, which was resolved out of court by the parties, Classic Floor Coverings International Pty Ltd has provided Karndean, without an admission of liability, an apology in the following terms: Classic Floor Coverings International Pty Ltd has agreed, without making any admission to publish this statement on CFC’s website, on Karndean's website and in “Flooring” magazine.
CFC acknowledges that one of its products was similar to Karndean's Barnwood range of products and apologises for any inconvenience caused.
CFC acknowledges that Karndean is the sole distributor of the Barnwood range in Australia.
