Trip-Trap-Trolls - Norway upholds copyright in chair

Regular readers will remember that some time ago Class 99 veteran Henning Hartwig covered the German infringement decision on the Tripp Trapp adjustable high chair (depicted), created four decades ago. 
We are grateful to the invaluable International Law Office newsletter for bringing our attention to the article by Celine Varmann Jørgensen of Bryn Aarflot reporting that the Norwegian Appeal Court has also found the copyright in the chair to exist and be infringed, overturning the first instance decision.  The defendant, Trumf, has apparently appealed on to the Supreme Court.  We shall bring you the result when we get it.
