ECJ rules on L'Oréal v eBay reference | Practical Law
The ECJ has given judgment on a number of questions referred to it by the English High Court on trade mark infringement issues arising from the use of advertising keywords in sponsored links to online marketplace websites; offers for sale on such sites of trade marked products whose boxes have been removed, of goods in which trade mark rights have not been exhausted, and of goods that are infringing in other ways; and the scope for issuing injunctions against operators of such websites.
