Tiffany (NJ) Inc. v. eBay Inc.
''Tiffany (NJ) Inc. v. eBay Inc.'' 600 F.3d 93 (2nd Cir. 2010), is a United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit case in which plaintiff Tiffany & Co. filed the complaint, first in 2004, alleging that eBay constituted direct and contributory trademark infringement, trademark dilution, and false advertising since it facilitated and advertised counterfeit Tiffany jewelries on its online market. On July 14, 2008, the District Court for S. D. N. Y. decided in favor of eBay on all claims. Tiffany appealed from these decisions to the Second Circuit. The court affirmed the judgment of the district court with respect to the claims of trademark infringement and dilution. The false advertising claim was returned to the district court for further processing, which was then ruled in favor of eBay.
==Background==
Founded in 1837, Tiffany & Co. is an established brand of luxury goods with high-end quality, including jewelry, watches, and home items. Created in New York City by Charles Lewis Tiffany,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tiffany.com/About/TheTiffanyStory/#p+1-n+6-cg+-c+-s+-r+-t+-ri+-ni+1-x+-pu+-f+/0 )〕 Tiffany is "renowned for its rare and magnificent diamonds"〔 its "style is defined by groundbreaking designs and glamorous collections." 〔 Tiffany marks are famous and a valuable asset for the company and are closely controlled through the distribution chains of its goods.
eBay is an online-market place that allows its registered users to buy and sell items with other users. eBay has more than 97 million active users globally,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ebayinc.com/who )〕 and is the "world's largest online marketplace, where practically anyone can buy and sell practically anything." 〔 Sellers put listings of their items under certain categories, such as "Books" or "Electronics", and potential buyers can search the items they want by keyword search or by browsing under the category. The two parties contact each other directly and decide the payment and shipping details to complete a transaction. eBay makes revenue by charging the sellers a commission fee for its listing services and for each completed deal.
Starting from 2004, counterfeit Tiffany goods were found to be sold on eBay's website, which could also be linked from eBay's homepage as top-sale listings.
