Intellectual Property Enforcement: Narth Run

Monmouthshire County Council did not have the information requested.

Dear Monmouthshire Council,

Please provide a copy of the letter sent by solicitors acting for the The Great Run Company Ltd / Nova International Limited sent to the organisers of the Narth Run raising issues of intellectual property relating to the use of the word "great".

I would argue that publishing this is in the public interest given it has been shared with the council, the issue has been widely publicised in the press, the prospect of litigation has gone and there is always a public interest in community events such as the Narth Run.

Yours faithfully,

Flynn Goldwater

Trigg, Mike J., Monmouthshire County Council

Dear Mr Goldwater,

 

I refer to your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. 

 

You asked:

 

Please provide a copy of the letter sent by solicitors acting for the The
Great Run Company Ltd / Nova International Limited sent to the organisers
of the Narth Run raising issues of intellectual property relating to the
use of the word "great".

 

The Council was not involved in the organisation of the event.  There is
no reason why the Council would require a copy of the letter and I have
not been able to locate one in our records.  We therefore do not hold the
information you requested.

for information, you can request a review by e-mail to
