McKool Smith has secured a $3.8 million default judgment on behalf of Prep Solutions Ltd. against seven defendants, with the Court finding that the defendants willfully infringed 13 of Prep Solutions' copyrights. In addition to the monetary award, the Court entered a permanent injunction, ordering the transfer of the defendants' website assets to Prep Solutions, further protecting the company's intellectual property rights.
The judgment was entered on March 20, 2025, by Judge Rodney Gilstrap in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, underscoring the Court's firm stance against willful copyright infringement.
This victory builds on McKool Smith's track record of successfully defending intellectual property rights. In 2024, the firm secured a $1.3 million default judgment for Tradesol Group Ltd. in a similar case involving the willful infringement of its copyrighted testing software. These outcomes demonstrate McKool Smith's commitment to protecting its clients' innovations and enforcing accountability for unauthorized use.
