Ebay, Inc. 576 F.Supp.2d 463 (S.D.N.Y 2008) ("The Inwood test requires a plaintiff to prove that the defendant continued to supply its product to an infringer once it had knowledge of the infringement. Courts have routinely declined to impose liability where a defendant, once it possesses sufficient knowledge, takes "appropriate steps" to cut off the supply of its product or service to the infringer.") AT & T v. Winback & Conserve Program, 42 F.3d 1421, 1433 n. 14 (3d Cir.1994) (contributory liability could not be imposed where the defendant "took appropriate steps" "in the instances where [plaintiff] brought objectionable acts ... to the attention of [defendant]") (internal citation and quotation marks omitted) Procter & Gamble Co. v. Haugen, 317 F.3d 1121, 1129-30 (10th Cir. 2003) ("In Inwood, . . . [t]o maintain a successful action for contributory infringement, the plaintiff had to show that the generic pharmaceutical maker "in fact, continued to supply [the pills] to pharmacists whom the [generic manufacturer] knew were mislabeling generic drugs." Id. at 855, 102 S.Ct. 2182. In Inwood, the Court agreed with the findings of the district court and concluded that the plaintiff could not make this showing.. . . .Similarly here, P & G cannot establish that Amway "continued to supply" any products to the Distributor upon discovery of the Satanic message. In fact, as the district court noted, Amway did not instruct the Distributor Defendants to spread the rumor, and, in fact, "upon learning of the subject message, Amway suggested that [one of the Distributor Defendants] issue a retraction," which he did.") 165100.1-10562-002-6/5/2009 3 SUPPLEMENTAL JURY INSTRUCTION NO. 17 ­ C 07-3952 JW
