“#Tiffany, Costco end 8-year hostile engagement over diamond rings<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Tiffany & Co has ended its more than 8-year-old lawsuit accusing Costco\u00a0of trademark infringement and counterfeiting for selling generic diamond engagement rings bearing the \u201cTiffany\u201d name.<\/p>\n

Lawyers for the companies on Monday filed a stipulation dismissing the case with the US District Court in Manhattan.<\/p>\n

The dismissal came after a federal app<\/a>eals court in August threw out a $21 million judgment that Tiffany, acquired in January by French luxury goods company LVMH, won in 2017 following a jury trial.<\/p>\n

A trial judge had found Costco liable for selling the disputed rings, despite its claim that \u201cTiffany\u201d had become a generic term and described the rings\u2019 pronged setting. That left jurors to decide only how much Tiffany should recover.<\/p>\n

But the appeals court said Costco acted in good faith, and that Costco customers were smart enough to realize Tiffany didn\u2019t make or endorse the warehouse chain\u2019s \u201cTiffany\u201d rings.<\/p>\n

Tiffany sued Costco on Valentine\u2019s Day in 2013, to protect the now 184-year-old company\u2019s brand and cachet. It ended the case after replacing its law firm this month.<\/p>\n

Neither company nor their lawyers immedia<\/a>tely responded to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

An estimated 3,349 customers bought Tiffany-set rings at Costco during the period covered by the lawsuit, court papers showed.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
