Thanks to Robert and Matt to promote our innovative transport marketplace, we launched in 2003.
So, be sure i will vigorously defend our intellectual property rights worldwide.
Copying is easy. To innovate is very hard. Really.

uShip and Shiply Announce Settlement of Their Legal Dispute

LONDON, February 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — uShip, Shiply and Robert Matthams today 24th February 2011 jointly announced a settlement regarding uShip’s claims of trademark and copyright infringement brought in the High Court in London. As part of the settlement, Shiply has agreed to redesign its web site, and pay an amount in compensation to uShip.

“We have already redesigned our website, and have agreed to implement further changes to our logo and other element at issue. We hope that it will remove any chance of association between uShip and Shiply for customers, transporters and the community,” said Mr Matthams, who is Shiply’s managing director.

“uShip.com has been copied by dozens of competitors since we launched our innovative transport marketplace in 2004,” said Matt Chasen, CEO and founder of uShip. “As this litigation shows, we will vigorously defend our intellectual property rights in Europe, the U.S., and other parts of the world.”

As a person who wants to use the services to have things that i have bought collected and delivered’ I have found a clear differeence between uship and shiply.

Shiply charge £2.99 even though it states on their website:

“Shiply is entirely free to all users, we charge nothing to people wanting to move goods.”

In Shiply’s definition “User” means a Member who has posted a Job on the Site.

I actually only just saw the above information on their website which is unfortunate for me as I have now twice paid their £2.99 charge, though I know how reluctant I was to. Yes I know that I am guilty of not checking their website thoroughly enough for information on charges

Uship on the other hand definitely does not charge users as I have used their service as well.

I will be sticking with uship uk in the future now I know that Shiply is making me pay for the privelege of using their site.
