David Wain, Smiffys’ UK Sales Manager, said: “As a market leader, we invest significant amounts of time, effort and money into our Product Design to produce great quality products at competitive prices. We do this because innovation and creativity is what our customers need and expect from us and also because it gives us competitive advantage. We take any copying of our designs extremely seriously. Smiffy's will not tolerate any copying of its original costume designs. Those designs are protected by design rights, which are owned by Smiffy's. All instances of copying which we become aware of will be forwarded to our solicitors, with clear instructions to take legal action to protect and enforce Smiffys’ rights where necessary. We clearly have the backing of the law in this matter and anyone considering challenging Smiffy's on this issue can expect a serious and expensive battle.”
