Display of Product: When Product Placement Constitutes Advertising
In Street Surfing, LLC v. Great American E&S Insurance Co., No. 12-55351, 2014 U.S. App. LEXIS 21804 (9th Cir. (Cal.) Nov. 14, 2014), the Ninth Circuit examined whether the display of product in a retail setting could satisfy the "in your advertisement" requirement in an insurance policy’s advertising injury coverage. The court found that even when a product is promoted by a third party, such as a retailer, the insured may still benefit from advertising coverage under certain policy definitions.
Design Patent Infringement: Implications for Covered Advertising Claims
In The Limited v. Nationwide Insurance Co., Ohio Court of Common Pleas, Franklin County, Case No. 94CVH11-8405, the issue of design patent infringement and its intersection with advertising injury coverage under an insurance policy was at the forefront. The case revolved around the sale of the fruit legging product, where Nationwide Insurance Co. disputed whether potential liability for patent infringement could trigger coverage under the policy’s provisions for misappropriation of an advertising idea.
