The Feb. 16 ruling prohibits iBeauty and Excite from using the keywords to trigger advertising and from displaying the Lauder trademarks within iBeauty banner ads. The companies also are enjoined from shipping diverted products from the U.S. to Germany. Two additional lawsuits are pending, one in France and one filed in January 1999 in Manhattan district court (1"The Rose Sheet" Feb. 8, 1999, p. 13)
