Hi Y'all - Here's a little summary of a new US court ruling on counterfeit Tiffany's merchandise sold on Ebay -- looks like we're not looking at the issue with the same jaundiced eye as France was last month.
TIFFANY, INC. V. EBAY, INC. (U.S. Dist. Ct., S.D.N.Y., July 14, 2008) - A federal judge ruled that eBay is not liable for contributory trademark infringement for third-party auction sales of counterfeit Tiffany merchandise, and that the web company's use of Tiffany trademarks in its advertising, homepage, and internet advertising links is a protected fair use of the jewelry company's marks.
