Federal Circuit Backs Amazon in Pillowcase Row

2017/05/26

The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has upheld a lower court ruling that cleared Amazon of copyright and trademark infringement claims that had been brought by a pillowcase designer. In a ruling handed down on May 23, the Federal Circuit rejected Seattle-based Milo & Gabby’s appeal. According to the judgment, the US District Court for the Western District of Washington did not err when it dismissed the company’s claim in July 2015.
Milo & Gabby had accused Amazon of allowing “direct knockoff copies” of its animal-shaped pillowcases to be sold by third parties online. The lower court said the content of the pages was supplied by third parties and did not originate from Amazon.
