FALLS CHURCH, Va. - The International Code Council (ICC) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Quincy, Mass., have reached out-of-court settlements in three lawsuits. The cases - one brought by ICC and two brought by NFPA - involved copyright and trademark issues.
Neither party admitted any liability or wrongdoing in any of the cases. The settlement protects NFPA's right to continue to publish and distribute its NFPA 5000®, Building Construction and Safety Code® and resolves issues related to NFPA's and ICC's trademarks.
