The K10 must be regarded as a single integrated product for the facts of this case; admissions by the defendant that the body, egg poacher and suspended basket were copied amount to reproduction of a substantial part of the plaintiff's work and entitle the plaintiff to relief in respect of those admitted parts; however, on close comparison the defendant did not reproduce a substantial part of the plaintiff's handle or lid — similarities were at the level of idea or function rather than protected form — therefore no infringement as to handle and lid.
