Eastern Point Trust Company Said
Sam Kott, Vice President and Corporate Counsel, commented, “Eastern Point invested heavily in its pioneering intellectual property and leads the Qualified Settlement Fund industry in innovation and proprietary process development. We are grateful to the Town of Lovell’s leadership for quickly resolving the matter and ceasing all associated activities.” Additionally, Mr. Kott noted, “Without exception, Eastern Point will vigorously defend its property rights and pursue all infringements to the fullest extent of the law, which provides relief and enforcement through both civil and contractual rights avenues.”
In related comments, Edward “Ned” Armand, CEO and chairman of Eastern Point, observed, “Federal and state laws prohibit the misappropriation of trade secrets, industrial espionage, and related infringement activity. Eastern Point will, in every instance, enforce its rights using all available avenues and tools against all infringing parties.’ He stated, “No ethical businessperson will justify misappropriating or otherwise converting another business’s trade secrets and IP property as an allowable or defensible action.”
