SAN JOSE, Calif., May 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Background: A French Court has ruled in favor of eBay in a case brought by L'Oreal over the sale of counterfeit goods. The Paris court found that eBay had "fulfilled its duty." Mary Huser, deputy general counsel for eBay said: "This is a clear legal victory for eBay and important victory for French consumers. We are delighted that eBay's meaningful efforts to fight counterfeits online have been recognized by the court, as has our status as an internet-hosting provider.
"Today, 99% of all items listed on eBay have no suspicion of counterfeits. We welcome the invitation to resolve the outstanding matters in an amicable way, as we have always believed that cooperation is the best way to fight counterfeits. Ongoing dialogue and collaboration, rather than litigation, is the only way to address these complex issues, which is in everyone's best interests." About eBay Inc.
