Judge rules for eBay on fake jewellery

Abstracted from The Australian


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
