News Release
Vancouver BC, November 23rd, 1999. Further to the press release of November
22, 1999, Burntsand Inc. has now had a preliminary opportunity to review the
Writ of Summons received on Friday, November 19, 1999, naming it and three
of its employees in a lawsuit claiming, among other things, breach of
copyright relating to some software. As a general response, Burntsand wants
to emphasize that it does not utilize in any of its existing or past
projects, nor does it intend to utilize, the type of software that it
believes to be at the heart of this claim. On November 22, 1999 Burntsand
filed an Appearance in the British Columbia supreme Court Registry
indicating its intention to defend against this lawsuit. Burntsand intends
to vigorously defend itself against all allegations made in the Statement of
Claim and is currently working with its legal advisors to prepare a detailed
Statement of Defence.
"It is unfortunate that LGS must fight its battles in the courts instead of
in the marketplace," stated Jim Yeates, Chairman & CEO of Burntsand. "We are
confident that these allegations both against Burntsand and its employees
will be proven to be unfounded." |
