EBay Inc. has defeated the appeal of a court ruling that protected the online auctioneer from “trademark dilution” by e-commerce rivals with similar-sounding names.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously upheld a lower court’s ruling in September 2005 against Perfumebay.com and Perfume-bay.com. EBay had argued that the names confused customers, who might think they were on an official EBay site.
