SINGAPORE - A Singapore company was sued for more than $400,000 by an American software company, after its employee installed an unauthorised version of the latter’s software on an unused laptop he found at the workplace.
But Justice Dedar Singh Gill said that the $259,511 sum was excessive and that Inzign’s conduct did not warrant additional damages. He tried unsuccessfully to install the software on his personal computer, which could not support the program, and was also unable to bypass the administrative controls of the company’s computers.
He traced the infringement to Inzign and visited the company’s premises in April. Following internal investigations, the software was uninstalled from the laptop.
