Online auction company eBay has emerged a winner in its latest lawsuit over counterfeit goods.
A French court ruled in favor of eBay in a suit filed by L’Oreal, eBay said on Wednesday. The cosmetics giant sought $4.8 million in damages, accusing eBay of allowing counterfeit goods to be traded on its site. The judge, Elisabeth Belfort, said eBay couldn’t be held accountable for sales of fake products on its site. The ruling added that through its anticounterfeiting measures, eBay has “fulfilled its obligations of loyalty to other operators on the market.”
eBay has said it spends more than $20 million a year to combat the problem of fake goods and will remove a listing if a company questions its authenticity. But L’Oreal said it thinks eBay could do more to stop the sale of counterfeit items.
