eBay wins counterfeit-sales suit filed by Tiffany

July 14, 2008 10:36 AM PDT

eBay cannot be forced to police its auction listings to identify counterfeit Tiffany & Co. products, a federal judge ruled on Monday in a lawsuit brought by the iconic 171-year-old jewelry company.
In what could become a landmark case for auction Web sites, the court said trademark law cannot be used to force eBay to shoulder the burden of examining individual auction listings for possible counterfeits.
"The court is not unsympathetic to Tiffany and other rights holders who have invested enormous resources in developing their brands, only to see them illicitly and efficiently exploited by others on the Internet," wrote U.S. District Judge Richard Sullivan. "Nevertheless, the law is clear: it is the trademark owner's burden to police its mark."
