I found this article reporting the latest ruling in the UK interesting and a subject for discussion for many here:

eBay has lost another lawsuit filed against it by luxury goods maker Louis Vuitton Malletier.

The Paris District Court ruled Thursday that eBay was liable for harming the reputation of LVM's trademarks, company name, and domain name. LVM had sued eBay claiming that the site was using keywords that hurt the Louis Vuitton brand....

...the latest in a series of legal battles between eBay and LVM. In June 2008, the Commercial Court of Paris fined eBay for failing to stop the sale of counterfeit handbags and other products claiming to be made by LVM.
