  • 2006 - La dispute entre UPS et FontShop au sujet de la police « UPS Sans » qui ressemblerait un peu beaucoup au FF Dax (#Hans_Reichel) et au FF Meta (#Erik_Spiekermann). La boîte ne reconnaît pas le plagiat, mais paie une compensation.

    FontShop and Unnamed Firm Reach Agreement | Typophile

    The firm has denied and vigorously defended the allegation that the typeface infringed FSI’s copyrights or that the typeface was an otherwise unauthorized derivative version of FSI’s FF DAX and FF META typefonts. FSI first raised its claims in the beginning of February, 2005.

    Without any admission of liability, the parties have agreed to resolve this matter pursuant to the terms of a confidential settlement agreement in order to eliminate the uncertainties, burden and expense of potential, protracted litigation. As part of that settlement, the firm has agreed to pay FSI $17,500.
