using it immediately. Nevertheless the claimant commenced proceedings for a comprehensive injunction. After the exchange of
witness statements, attempts were made to settle the dispute and it was agreed that by the time of the trial, the defendant
had ceased all alleged infringements. Nevertheless, the claimants were entitled to the injunction sought and applied for its
costs in full.
