Question 1 of 9

Company A designs and manufactures a range of bespoke case management systems for use in the Legal and Accounting service industries. Company B has started selling an identical range of products which are in breach of Company A’s intellectual property rights. Company A does not know who is manufacturing and distributing these products. Company B has provided confirmation that these products are in fact identical to those of Company A but is refusing to name its supplier, despite numerous requests to do so by Company A. Company A wants to ascertain the identity of the company infringing its intellectual property rights and once known, intends to commence court proceedings against that company (seeking an injunction and damages). Company A estimates that its claim will be worth in excess of £100,000.What is the most appropriate step for Company A to take in order to compel Company B to identify who is supplying it with these products in breach of Company A’s intellectual property rights?
