In summary any rear Hydration system that looks similar to below images, or with similar name or design could be in breach of our product rights.

Breaching a company’s registered design rights can lead to severe penalties, including both civil liability and criminal sanctions. For intentional, large-scale, or serious breaches, culprits can face up to 10 years in prison. Criminal Penalties (Registered Designs)Under the Intellectual Property Act 2014, intentional copying of a registered design is a criminal offence if the perpetrator knew or had reason to believe the design was registered.

• Imprisonment: Up to 10 years in a Crown Court.
• Fines: Unlimited fines.
• Seizure: Confiscation and destruction of infringing goods.
• Other Penalties: Potential for a criminal record and a £50,000 fine in serious cases.

Civil Remedies (Registered and Unregistered Designs)If a company takes civil action for infringement (even for unintentional infringement of registered designs or infringement of unregistered design rights), the following remedies may be awarded:

• Injunctions: A court order forcing the infringer to stop selling or using the design.
• Damages: Compensation for lost profits and financial losses.
• Account of Profits: The infringer must give up all profits made from the infringing product.
• Delivery Up/Destruction: Mandatory removal or destruction of infringing products.
• Costs: Payment of the claimant's legal fees.

EZ Gains is enforcing the above.
