The Trademark Blog has this interesting post about litigation between Major League Baseball and a small business that sells goods via eBay. It seems the business, Tabberone, buys bulk fabric and then makes things like aprons and tissue box covers out of it, which it then sells. Some of the fabric had the licensed logos of MLB teams on it. MLB got eBay to cancel the auctions. Tabberone sued MLB, and MLB countersued. The details are here.
UPDATE: The Trademark Blog has more on the issue here.
