Just days after Tiffany appealed the correct US ruling that eBay isn't liable for counterfeit goods sold on the site, a Belgian Court has sided with eBay in a very similar lawsuit involving L'Oreal. Apparently, the Belgian courts understand how liability works a lot better than their neighbors in France, who ruled the other way in a case involving Louis Vuitton. L'Oreal says it's "surprised" by the decision and will appeal, but fails to explain why eBay, as a platform maker, should be responsible for what people do with that platform. About the only answer seems to be that L'Oreal recognizes eBay is an easier target than going after those actually responsible (those selling the counterfeit goods). It's nice that most courts recognize that the easiest entity to sue is not necessarily the proper entity to sue. Permalink | Comments | Email This Story ... Source: www.moreover.com --- 25 days ago

EBay won another victory today in its far-flung legal battles with trademark owners. According to the wire service AFP, a Belgian Court ruled that the auction house was not required to police its site to prevent counterfeit goods from being sold. The ruling, which came on a lawsuit by cosmetics maker L'Oreal, mirrors a decision last month by a federal judge in New York to reject Tiffany and Co.'s claims against eBay. By contrast, a Paris Court held in June that eBay was liable for the sale of counterfeit Louis Vuitton goods and other luxury items. (EBay is appealing.) Tiffany, which filed an appeal this week of U.S. District Judge Richard Sullivan's ruling, argued that eBay was liable for the sale of counterfeit goods because it didn't take the initiative to block suspect sales — e.g., someone offering multiple "Tiffany" items at a deep discount. EBay countered that its only duty was to block the auctions that Tiffany fingered. Sullivan agreed, saying the enforcement burden was on trademark owners, not middlemen such as eBay. Rulings by Sullivan and the Belgian commercial Court offer an important bit of clarity about the duties of online intermediaries whose platforms and services become a vehicle for violating intellectual property rights. As the editorial board noted in July, copyright and trademark owners have pressed lawmakers and the courts to force those intermediaries to do more to stop infringement. But such burden-shifti ...

The Vinkhuijzen Collection of Military Costume Illustration has drawings of uniforms and regimental regalia from all over the world. Assembled by one of these great, eccentric collectors of the late 19th Century, Dr. H. J. Vinkhuijzen, a Dutch medical doctor who started out as an army physician and eventually rose to the position of official Court physician to Prince Alexander of Netherlands. He pulled plates out of books, colored in black and white drawings and painted his own watercolor illustrations. His collection includes pictures of the soldiers of many different nations and eras , from military superpowers like the Roman Empire , France and Great Britain , to lesser known, but no less formidable forces, like Byzantium and Persia and even taking in such minnows as Luxembourg , Monaco and Montenegro .

LONDON — A Belgian Court Tuesday found in favor of eBay in a case brought against the Internet auction site by L’Oréal-owned Lancôme over the sale of counterfeit products. The French beauty behemoth, which said it intends to appeal the decision, had aimed to stop eBay from allowing the sale of what it considers counterfeit goods on the Belgian version of its site. It had also requested that the site take several steps to counteract the sale of counterfeit Lancôme goods, including banning certain selling activity — such as the sale of more than three perfumes in a month by the same seller. “We are very pleased with the Belgian Court’s decision,” said an eBay spokeswoman, adding the site had taken down product listings that L’Oréal had contested. “We’re pleased that the Court acknowledged the fact that eBay is willing to work together with rights holders. EBay wants to work together with brands rather than engage in litigation.” According to the spokeswoman, the Court considers eBay an online host stocking information generated by users and is not responsible for the veracity of that information. “L’Oréal believes the Court to be mistaken in its decision to minimize the role of eBay in the sale of products on its platform,” the French firm stated. “L’Oréal believes that this judgment by the Court digresses from the interpretation of the e-commerce directive provided in recent months by the European Commission.

That wasn't the sweet taste of victory that a 17-year-old Bunnell High School (Conn.) wrestler was experiencing recently during practice. One of his teammates was arrested for alleged sexual assault, when he produced his wiener and slapped it onto the mouth of an opponent, who had been pinned. Ah, the old, outlawed Belgian Pickle move. The charges are based on an incident last December during a wrestling team practice session at the school. The 17-year-old victim was wrestling with another teammate, police said, when he allegedly heard the defendant tell his opponent to pin him to the mat. While the victim was pinned on his back, police said, the defendant approached, bent down and exposed his genitals in the victim's face. The victim managed to free himself and went to a water cooler to rinse out his mouth, declaring, "That was disgusting," according to the police report. The victim was initially reluctant to report the incident, police said, but later came forward after other Bunnell students learned about it. I'm shocked that high school kids would repeat a story like that. Anyway, the 16-year-old was charged with one count of fourth-degree sexual assault and surrendered to police "after learning there was a warrant for his arrest." I think it was Mrs. Balbricker who gave the police a description of the penis. The boy was released after posting $1,000 bond, pending arraignment in Superior Court; a proceeding potentially rich i ...
