Hi,
The names in this story have been changed to protect the innocent (and not so innocent).....
We have a bit of a pesky problem with a web design company "Upperty Web Design" we used a while back to design a site for us...
We also have a self employed web designer on the books and when we gave him the task of moving the site to our new server, he changed the footer link from linking to their domain to his company, "Bobs Web Design". We didn't mind as it's no skin off our nose either way, and he is heavily involved with our main sites.
Just to clarify, he didn't do it to claim Bobs Web Design created the site, it was purely for SEO purposes.
Skip forward a couple of months and someone from Upperty Web Design contacts us saying,
So, where do we stand on this "infringement" ?
