Legal proceedings taken by a firm that supplies 3D medical illustrated images against a rival company set up by former employees have been struck out.

Last November, Moorefilm Ltd applied to the High Court for an injunction against WKG Media Ltd, trading as the Science Picture Company, and its three directors, Eoin Winston, Eoin Kavanagh and Michael Grant alleging copyright infringement and breach of obligations of confidentiality.

The Science Picture Company was set up in 2008 by the three. Prior to setting up their business, they had worked as lead artists for Moorefilm Ltd, which trades as 3d4 Medical.
