Macy’s Inc. has lost a bid to prevent rival J.C. Penney Co. from selling some Martha Stewart-branded products in its stores.
New York State Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Oing denied Macy’s request Thursday. The judge said J.C. Penney is already abiding by an injunction that prevents it from selling certain Martha Stewart-brand items such as cookware, kitchen utensils, and bed and bath products that fall under an exclusive Macy’s contract, Macy’s Inc. spokeswoman Sharon Bateman said Friday in an email to The Associated Press.
