If I understood the original post correctly, TYPEBANK's font was
copied without changes by one group (the LABO123 font), and then
modified by two later groups who mistakenly thought the font was
available under a free license. So it seems likely that TYPEBANK
would win a suit in a country in which fonts are copyrightable, since
there's a clear chain of derived works (although IANAL).
