- Court of Appeal
On the facts the Court upheld the trial judge's findings that Steelbro had access to TRT's product, that Steelbro's SB121 reproduced a substantial part of the TRT Triple's copyrighted expression, and that the similarities could not be adequately explained by engineering or regulatory constraints; accordingly Steelbro infringed TRT's copyright and the appeal was dismissed.
