Tiffany v. Ebay (case)

Tiffany v. eBay was a legal case where luxury jewelry brand Tiffany & Co. sued eBay for allowing counterfeit Tiffany items to be sold on its platform. Tiffany argued that eBay was responsible for stopping the sale of fake products. The court ruled that eBay is protected under the Communications Decency Act because it acts as a platform, not the seller, and isn't responsible for the counterfeit listings. This case highlights the legal limits of holding online marketplaces accountable for third-party sellers, emphasizing the balance between platform immunity and brand protection.
