Tiffany (NJ) Inc. v. eBay Inc.

Tiffany (NJ) Inc. v. eBay Inc. was a legal case where Tiffany sued eBay, claiming that eBay wasn't doing enough to stop counterfeit Tiffany jewelry being sold on its platform. Tiffany argued that eBay was responsible for selling fake goods and shouldn't benefit from these illegal sales. The court decided that eBay was protected by a legal rule called "safe harbor," which shields online platforms from liability if they take reasonable steps to prevent illegal activity. Basically, the court ruled that eBay isn’t automatically responsible for every listing, as long as it acts appropriately to combat counterfeit sales.
