eBay Inc. is \u201cnot generally liable<\/a>\u201d for trademark infringement that occurs on its website, according to Advocate General Niilo Jaaskinen of the European Court of Justice (ECJ).\u00a0 He did, however, contend that the online auction-house is liable once it becomes aware of any breach and for the content of data it communicates as an advertiser to a search engine operator. At the heart of the legal matter lies L\u2019Oreal, the world\u2019s largest cosmetics manufacturer, and its claims of infringement through sales of goods on the eBay website. Jaaskinen proposed that the company be allowed to block sales of its goods marked \u201cnot for sale\u201d and of any other unpackaged items that might damage or conceal the company\u2019s brand. Both parties seem satisfied by the opinion<\/a>, which will most likely be upheld by the ECJ. The ECJ\u2019s judges are expected to make their ruling within the next few months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
