Tiffany appeals ruling eBay won over fakes

Tiffany & Co. challenged yesterday a federal ruling that largely absolved eBay Inc. of policing its auction site for counterfeit items, saying the judge was wrong to leave the primary burden to the jewellery maker. The appeal with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York extends a case that Tiffany filed against eBay in 2004 arguing that most items listed for sale on eBay as genuine Tiffany products were fakes. Last month, a judge ruled that trademark holders like the jewellery maker, rather than auction platforms like eBay, are responsible for policing their brands online. Tiffany lawyer James Swire said yesterday that trademark law doesn't put the responsibility on Tiffany for policing its own trademark. "The judge's entire analysis of what is Tiffany's responsibility with respect to the site versus eBay's starts from an incorr

eBay claims court victory in Belgium over L'Oreal in counterfeit goods case

Online auctioneer eBay claimed yesterday to have won a Belgian court case against L'Oreal after the French cosmetics giant sued it over the sale of counterfeit goods. L'Oreal has brought cases against eBay in five European nations, including Belgium, accusing the company of not doing enough to prevent the sale of counterfeit goods posted on its auction and sale sites. The Belgian commercial court, the first jurisdiction to deliver a ruling, "has ruled in favour of eBay," said Sravanthi Agrawal, eBay spokeswoman in Europe. The court ruled that the world's largest online auctioneer did not have "a general monitoring obligation" of what was on offer on its site. "The judge confirmed that eBay acted diligently when it received letters from L'Oreal," the spokeswoman added.

eBay Beats Tiffany In Net Trademark Case

sm62704 notes a Reuters story reporting that eBay has beat Tiffany in court in a "knockout" decision. If this had gone the other way, not only would eBay be in trouble (especially after the loss of a similar case in France), but so would Net commerce as a whole. Tiffany seems certain to appeal. "All of Tiffany's trademark infringement claims against eBay were rejected — a knockout blow to the four-year-old lawsuit that had been closely watched by Internet companies as well as luxury goods makers seeking to stop the sale of counterfeit products online. Tiffany & Co had alleged that eBay turned a blind eye to the sale of fake Tiffany silver jewelry on its site. EBay had countered that it was not in a position to determine which goods were knock-offs.

Applied Nanotech Holdings, Inc. Announces Court Decision

Applied Nanotech Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: APNT) announced that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued its opinion in its litigation with Canon, Inc. The appeals court in part affirmed, and in part reversed, the rulings of the district court. While the appeals court accepted, without deciding, the district court's decision that SED, Inc. as originally formed did not qualify as a Canon subsidiary, and that Canon had materially breached the contract, it found that termination of the license agreement was not an appropriate remedy. The appeals court also ruled that the restructured SED, Inc., which is 100% owned by Canon, now qualifies as a Canon subsidiary. The appeals court denied Applied Nanotech's appeal that the district court had improperly excluded certain evidence from the trial.

Belgian Tribunal Dismisses L'Oreal Claims in eBay Lawsuit

eBay said the Belgian Tribunal de Commerce has dismissed all claims by L'Oreal brought against eBay regarding the sale of counterfeit items. eBay issued a statement published on the eBay corporate blog "This is the second successful court ruling in a row for eBay, both supporting our view that controlling prices and distribution reduces consumer choice. The litigation of counterfeits against eBay has been exposed as merely a stalking horse. eBay provides a vibrant and trusted marketplace that gives European consumers a good deal. We work to tackle the menace of counterfeit through action and co-operation with rights owners."

eBay Must Ban LVMH Designer Items

The LVMH Group issued a press release on Friday announcing the Paris Court of Appeal's decision to confirm the charges against eBay of the Paris Commercial Court. The French Commercial Court had ordered eBay to pay almost 40 million euros to LVMH for "negligence" and "illicit sales" over the sale of counterfeit goods on its online auction site. Through an injunction, the court also ordered eBay to cease selling perfumes and cosmetics bearing the Dior, Guerlain, Givenchy and Kenzo brand names, failing which eBay would incur penalty payments of Euro 50,000 per day. The Commercial Court had also ruled that eBay should prevent its members from using those brand names.

Judge rules for eBay on fake jewellery

US-based online auction services provider eBay has had an important legal win in a court case involving fake jewellery. District Court of New York judge Richard Sullivan has found that claimant Tiffany was wrong to put the onus for policing the trade in counterfeit goods on eBay, and noted that auctions for fake jewellery were cancelled immediately when Tiffany alerted eBay to them. The legal team for the luxury goods brand has signalled an appeal may be lodged. eBay had previously lost in a similar matter, when a French court ruled in favour of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton and ordered compensation of in excess of $US61m be paid to it by eBay

EBay (EBAY) NewsBite - EBay Price Target Slashed

EBay Inc. (EBAY) opened at 27.09. So far today, the stock has hit a low of 25.95 and a high of 27.43. EBAY is now trading at 27.22, down 0.27 (-1.00%). The stock hit its 52 week high of 40.73 in October and set its 52 week low of 25.10 in March. EBAY has been dropping for most of the past year. A RBC Capital Markets analyst cut his price target on the stock today to $35 from $40, and said the effect of deals with large online retailers the company's revenue may be more muted due to less-favorable terms. The company had signed a deal with Buy.com allowing it to sell books, electronics and other items on eBay's Website without paying the full complement of fees. Technical indicators for the stock are bearish but slightly improving while S&P gives EBAY a very positive 5 STARS (out of 5) strong buy rating.

Ebay Fined $61M By French Court For Sales of Fake Goods

A court in France ordered eBay to pay more than 61 mega-dollars to the parent company (LVMH) of Givenchy, Fendi, Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton, because a user sold fake goods on the website. eBay has been sued by other 'luxury goods' vendors (such as Tiffany's (US), Rolex (Germany) and L'Oreal (EU)). Problems stem from some companies demanding that their merchandise (even legal merchandise) not be displayed nor sold as it is a violation of their 'property.' Others have complained that eBay is too slow to take down claims. Apparently eBay was hit with two violations: 1) eBay illegally allowed legitimately purchased and owned products made by LVMH to be resold on its website by 3rd parties not under the control of LVMH, and 2) not doing enough to protect LVMH's brands from illegal sales.
