Intellectual Property Enforcement: Narth Run
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

no reason why the Council would require a copy of the letter and I have
