The Superior Court of Québec issued a decision on
December 3, 2025 awarding Gowling WLG client Dassault
Systèmes SolidWorks more than $1.4M in infringer's
profits, over $400K in damages and $50K in punitive damages for
copyright infringement.
The trial related to pirated versions of Dassault
Systèmes' flagship SolidWorks product. It also involved
parallel criminal proceedings against the defendants. Following
trial, the Superior Court of Québec issued the decision that
is likely to attract attention for the remedies awarded and the
consequences for businesses using pirated software.
