Macy's Appeals Ruling in Martha Stewart-J.C. Penney Dispute

Macy's has filed an appeal challenging a judge's ruling that J.C. Penney can sell unbranded Martha Stewart goods in its stores for now — the latest salvo in a legal war between the two retailers over rights to the domestic doyenne's products. Justice Jeffrey Oing in Manhattan state court said on Friday that J.C. Penney could sell certain Martha Stewart-designed goods as long as they don't carry her name. The decision was a reprieve for the troubled retailer which has already had the products manufactured and is storing them in warehouses.
