Beckett colector software

The Card Collector. Much to my surprise, the Beckett v. Custom Plush Production Inc. This is the case where Beckett alleged The Card Collector accessed Beckett's pricing guides through the Beckett website and unlawfully "scraped" Beckett's copyrightable checklist and pricing data. The Card Collector denied Beckett's allegations and filed a counterclaim for attorneys' fees. The Card Collector also contends that Beckett's checklist and pricing data is not copyrightable.

In fact, if you believe the parties' jointly filed proposed schedule, it might continue until next summer. While most of the parties' proposed dates are boring who cares when experts need to be disclosed , the interesting dates are March 27, when the parties will file dispositive motions that will give us good insight into each party's evidence and a proposed trial date of July 18, While it might appear from the outside that this case is moving slowly, it's actually a fast schedule.

With trial less than a year away, there's a lot for the parties and their hourly billable attorneys to do such as collect evidence, review the other side's evidence, conduct depositions, hire experts, prepare dispositive motions, prepare expert reports, prepare for trial, etc. Given this, regardless of the parties' posturing, this case should wrap up well before trial.

There's not enough money to justify the fees and expenses to take this one to trial. And although there is a chance either side could win attorneys' fees…that's normally a long shot. The schedule does consider a best chance for this case wrapping up on April 25, , when the case is scheduled for "further settlement negotiations.

It should settle before then, however. Hopefully by November, which will give both sides a few months of attorneys' bills to pay.
