The Bundesgerichtshof (German Supreme Court) rendered another judgment, in which it pursued its jurisdiction on the liability of providers of online marketplaces.
On the internet platform eBay, products under the trademark "Echo Davidoff" and "Davidoff Cool Water Deep" (so-called perfume pens) were offered for auction by one of the sellers. On its platform eBay provides for a so-called VeRi-program by which owners of intellectual property rights can object to right infringing offers and gain the blocking of the seller's offer by providing an affidavit. Thereafter eBay provides for the opportunity for the owner of the intellectual property right to scan the seller's data through the VeRi-program.
