J.C. Penney wins court battle

J.C. Penney on Friday won the right to sell Martha Stewart products — as long as they’re unbranded.
This to the consternation of Macy’s, which is in the middle of a court battle with J.C. Penney and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia claiming that the two violated its exclusive contract with the domestic diva.
A judge also dismissed Macy’s claim of unfair competition against J.C. Penney.
J.C. Penney can, for now, sell Stewart items under its Everyday label, which does not carry Stewart’s name. The disputed items will reach shelves in May.
