, alleging the defendants had infringed on D&D’s “exclusive rights” related to its Unity platform. Real estate law firms use Unity to process property transfers.
D&D alleges in its claim LawLabs accessed Unity through a licence held by the law firm with the intent of “reverse engineering” and copying the Unity software, in breach of the terms of use, to create its own platform, Closer. That “could only have been for the purpose of replicating the user interface, look and feel, and underlying logic of Unity” in Closer, the claim alleges. That violated Unity’s terms of use, which state customers cannot sublicense use to third parties, reverse-engineer, infringe, copy or reproduce any of its copyrighted material, including its software, code or documents, D&D alleges. It terminated Kelly’s licence in May.
The claims haven’t been tested in court. Won Kim, a lawyer who represents the defendants, called the claim “meritless” in an e-mail to The Globe and Mail, stating that LawLabs didn’t copy or incorporate any aspects of Unity. He said his clients would refute the allegations “in full” in their statement of defence.
