Amazon.com International, Inc. v. American Dynasty Surplus Lines Insurance
Court of Appeals of Washington
Decided March 15, 2004No. 52143-8-IPublishedCited by 13 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtEllington, J.
In a lawsuit against Amazon.com International, Inc., a software manufacturer alleged that Amazon infringed upon its patents by misappropriating its software for use on Amazon’s website to market goods for sale to the public. Because the allegations conceivably amounted to an advertising injury covered by Amazon’s policy with Atlantic Mutual Insurance Company, Atlantic Mutual had a duty to defend. We therefore reverse sum*614mary judgment in favor of Atlantic Mutual and remand for entry of summary judgment in favor of Amazon’s excess carrier, American Dynasty Surplus Lines.
