In a case of who copied whom, a big-name Miami architectural firm claims copyright infringement for illegal use of its work by another architect, and a developer accused the same firm of duplicating parts of a Surfside project at a nearby building.

Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design Inc. and The Surf Club Apartments Inc. entered a $1.46 million agreement in 2018 for the architectural firm to work on the developer’s 11-story Surf Club II hotel-condominium.
