legal responsibility for law case

katechou — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 10:47:51 +0200

In a long-awaited decision in a four-year-old trademark lawsuit against eBay brought by the jeweler Elsa Peretti Sevillana pendant, Judge Richard J. Sullivan of the Federal District Court in Manhattan ruled that the online retailer does not have a legal responsibility to prevent its users from selling counterfeit items on its online marketplace. James B. Swire, counsel for Tiffany and a partner at the law firm of Arnold & Porter, said he was ��shocked and disappointed�� in the ruling. Tiffany was likely to appeal the decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
The ruling is a shift in eBay��s recent courtroom fortunes. A week ago, a French judge ordered eBay to pay 40 million euros ($63.2 million) to the French luxury goods maker LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton over counterfeiting charges. In April, a German appeals court ruled that eBay must take preventive measures against the sale of counterfeit Rolex watches.
If those judgments are upheld in appellate court, eBay could have a potential problem on its hands. Though it operates a single global marketplace �� buyers in Europe see the same items that buyers in the United States do �� eBay would be legally required to do more abroad to fight counterfeiting than it is required to do at home. American shoppers on eBay will see no change in the company��s listings, but how the various rulings will affect the listings in Europe remains to be seen.

Tiffany's on 57th Street

Directly across 57th Street from the mahogany and marble hush of Tiffany Store, heroic size statues of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck in formal clothing doff their top hats to visitors.
Just to the east of Tiffany's on 57th Street, a five-story sneaker and apparel store, Niketown. A few blocks south on Fifth Avenue, Mickey and Minnie Mouse cavort on a marquee.
Clearly the neighborhood is changing. The corner of Fifth and 57th Street and a few blocks to the east were once the center of gravity for high-toned, high-priced shopping in New York. Ladies in Chanel suits shopped for accessories in Hermes and for baubles at Van Cleef & Arpels. The carriage trade flourished.
Then the Warner Brothers Studio Store showed up in October 1993 in old bank and office space on the northeast corner of 57th Street and Fifth Avenue. At first it was a fairly modest, three stories, 30,000 square foot emporium selling mostly soft goods linked to Bugs, Daffy and Warner's immense collection of still and moving picture cartoon characters.
Entertainment retailing is taking the area by storm and reactions are mixed. Tourists and families with children loved it and Studio Store officials began looking upward. When the store reopened recently it had grown to nine stories and 75,000 square feet with a wider variety of merchandise and special floors for interactive games, a cafe and candy store and a 74-seat viewing space for the screening films, including the first computer-generated 3-D cartoon feature, starring Daffy Duck and Marvin the Martian.

Luxury marketers need to dig deeper

katechou — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 10:56:04 +0200

At this moment, the declining economy and increasing demands on consumers' budgets have already made life difficult for luxury marketers. Now a new problem has arisen regarding the proliferation of fake luxury goods that have hit both U.S. and international luxury companies.
How can luxury marketers fight the scourge of fakers? Pam Danziger, President of Unity Marketing, advises luxury brand companies to focus their efforts on consumer education that places substance before image.
Danziger notes that luxury brands are frustrated when they can't find an effective legal remedy that will prevent people from faking their brands. She points out: ��But the fakers have simply taken an opportunity presented by the luxury brands' own emphasis on image over substance in their advertising and marketing communications.��
Danziger summarizes: ��Luxury marketers need to dig deeper, and communicate to their customers the superior workmanship, distinctive style, top-line materials, and long-lasting value that their products bring. That is the experience that having and owning the real thing imparts to the consumer. A customer who knows that her tiffany jewelry will hold up to decades of daily use because of its impeccable craftsmanship, while its classic style makes it that she will turn to again and again."

To Gabrielle, the earrings are a symbol of the four of us being friends and feeling that we are reaching an age of marriage but not seeing it in our future. Instead of finding some of the meaning and purpose and fulfillment in life through a husband and children, we find it in each other and in our experiences as single women. For example, she and her friends will go and buy jewelry at Tiffany. We talk all the time about how the four of us are family and how we want to continue our traveling and "purchasing" traditions even after we all have families of our own.
Tuan has noted that "it is an essential characteristic of being human that we feel the urge to reify experience, to give those fleeting moments of pleasure and pain a narrative outline or visual shape". Often, a shared geographical location (and the resulting shared sense of place) provides the setting-and the ongoing storage-for shared experiences with family and friends. For relationships that are forced to remain abstract or conceptual due to geographic distance, circulated objects help reify the shared experiences, giving them a physical, shared location

Many foreign tourists chose to visit New York - the most expensive U.S. city - because the weakened dollar made hotels, food and entertainment more affordable. And the most important is Tiffany Co store.
Christopher Heywood, the Director of Travel and Media Relations for NYC & Company, said Europeans are at a special advantage.
"We've seen a tremendous momentum from European markets as a result of the weak dollar," he said. "We've seen a particular increase in markets like the U.K., which saw a 25 percent increase in 2007, and Spain which saw an increase of about 37 percent and Italy which went up 36 percent."
Heywood says foreign tourists are especially important to New York City's tourism market because they stay in the city for longer and spend more money than the average American tourist.
"Tiffany earrings shopping is one of the big drivers of tourism to New York City," he explained. "Europeans are literally coming here with one suitcase and leaving with two or three. They are getting considerable savings here. And, they are buying up major U.S. brands. They are frequenting stores like Abercrombie & Fitch, they are going to buy Tiffany bangles, Levis jeans, Apple iPods."
Tourism is one of New York's most important industries. But, visitors to the city fell off after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
In recent years, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has been actively trying to draw visitors back to the city. A global promotional campaign called "This Is New York City," says New York is safer, cleaner and more vibrant.

Tiffany & Co. today announced a 9% increase in first quarter net earnings, as strong US store sales offset weak sales in Japan. Earnings for the fiscal first quarter rose to $40.1 million, from $36.8 million in the previous year period. Sales rose 12% to $509.9 million, led by 11% growth in US same-store sales.
Michael J. Kowalski, chairman and chief executive officer, said sales in Japan remained below expectations, but cited robust growth in US sales as well as growth in many international markets.
��We are more cautious about Japan, but continue to address weakness in that market with product development initiatives and focused marketing," he said.
US retail sales increased 14% to $243 million in the first quarter. International retail sales were 3% higher at $190 million compared to the previous year on a constant exchange-rate basis, the company said
On that basis, retail sales in Japan fell 5%, while same-store sales fell 10%. In the Asia-Pacific region outside Japan same-store sales increased 5%, while declining 3% in Europe.
Tiffany & Co forecast an 8-10% increase in net sales for the year and maintained its expectations for full year earnings per share to be ��comfortably in a range�� of $1.45-$1.55 per diluted share.
Although, earnings could be at the lower end of that range if full year comparable store sales in Japan were to decline by a single-digit percentage, the company said.
