Insurance Firms Settle Dispute Over Marine Policy Copyright Infringement

A legal dispute between an insurance policy licensing group, an underwriting firm, and two competing insurance underwriting firms has come to an end. The dispute concerned allegations of copyright infringement, with the plaintiffs claiming their rivals copied specific language from a marine transportation policy for their own use without permission. The parties involved communicated to a Connecticut federal judge last Friday that they have mutually agreed to terminate their ongoing dispute.
