ALT The company said: "Ordnance Survey and Rubbaglove have reached an amicable resolution to a dispute between them regarding the designs of OS's picnic blankets. The terms of the settlement are confidential to the parties and their advisers." It is thought the Eatons have received £44,000 as part of the settlement but that their legal costs exceeded £70,000. While lost sales are difficult to quantify, sources familiar with the matter suggested that they could run to "hundreds of thousands of pounds" as Pacmat sales stalled after the rival products were launched. Ordnance Survey also agreed not to sell a competing product for ten years.
