Lush files trademark infringement suit against Amazon

lushusa.com
Lush, a cosmetics company in UK, filed a trademark suit against Amazon. Lush claimed that Amazon sold similar products that are not made by Lush and it offered search advertisement with ‘Lush’ Keyword.

According to The Drum, The High Court said 

"Lush brought trademark infringement proceedings against Amazon on the basis that when the term 'Lush' was searched for on Amazon's website, the results returned were for goods which, although they featured the word 'lush' in a number of contexts, were not in fact made by Lush. Amazon had also bid on the Google AdWord 'Lush Bath Products' but did not, in fact, sell any Lush products."
