A total of 37 defendants in the copyright infringement case filed by pop Artist Romero Britto earlier this month will have to pay a combined $205,000 in fines, imposed by the judge overseeing the case after failing to reach an out-of-court settlement agreement.
Some 87 retailers and wholesalers doing business in Puerto Rico that were sued in September for selling counterfeit Romero Britto items are facing what could be significant finds for not coming forward to negotiate, the lead attorney in the pop artist’s lawsuit, Dora Peñagarícano, told News is my Business.
The attorney for Pop Artist Romero Britto said Thursday that about 60 of the defendants sued nearly eight weeks ago for copyright and trademark infringement violations are in talks to settle the damages they have caused the Miami-based company.
