eBay Scores Victory Over L’Oreal in Belgium
A Belgian court has dismissed L’Oreal’s complaint that eBay is responsible for counterfeits sold in its auctions. The court said that eBay does not have a “general monitoring obligation” and that it is not required to police its site to prevent counterfeiting.
This is the second such recent victory for eBay. Last month, a New York court ruled eBay wasn’t responsible for the sale of fake Tiffany jewelry.
