Rolex v. EBay

Germany’s highest judicial court on Thursday ruled that the German branch of the Internet auctioneer eBay must try to prevent attempts to sell fake Rolex watches on its website.

The Swiss luxury brand took eBay to court after a number of fake Rolex watches were offered for sale on the website between June 2000 and January 2001.

The court in Karslruhe in south-western Germany said that eBay was obliged to withdraw purported offers of Rolex watches immediately if there was reason to suspect that they were counterfeit, or if it was alerted to the fact by Rolex.
