In an interesting decision from the Western District of Washington last week, Judge Ricardo S. Martinez granted an order denying Amazon's Motion for Summary Judgement that it did not directly infringe Milo & Gabby's animal-shaped pillow case design patents in Milo & Gabby, LLC et al v. Amazon.com, Inc., No. C13-1932RSM (W.D. Wash. 2014). The Court agreed with Plaintiff Milo & Gabby that questions of fact preclude summary judgment as to whether Amazon "offered to sell" allegedly infringing merchandise actually sold by third-party vendors, but listed on the Amazon.com website.
