Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, April 10, 2009

HIGH POINT — Fabric supplier Culp said it has reached an out-of-court settlement with SRA Fabrics over allegations that SRA infringed on Culp's copyrighted Congo fabric with an SRA product called Viper.

Culp said SRA, based in New York, has agreed not to manufacture or sell the Viper fabric or any fabric with the same or substantially similar design as Congo.

"Culp has invested a great deal of resources into creating unique fabric designs, and we intend to protect our investment, reputation and good will by aggressively pursuing all forms of copyright infringement," said Frank Saxon, Culp president and CEO.
