AMAZON, APPLE DISPUTE MERITS OF FALSE-ADVERTISING CLAIM

摘要

Amazon.com is asking a federal judge to toss false-advertising claims that Apple has tacked on to an amended complaint over Amazon's use of the "Amazon Appstore" name, but Apple insists that its allegations are sound. See Apple Inc. v. Amazon.com Inc. et al., No. 11-1327, opposition to motion for partial summary judgment filed (N.D. Cal., Oakland Div. Oct. 10, 2012). Amazon argues in its motion for partial summary judgment that the false-advertising claim mirrors Apple's garden-variety trademark infringement claim, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
