A two-and-a-half-year-old dispute between Costco and Tiffany over the meaning of “Tiffany” on diamond engagement rings, is over. A federal judge found in favor of Tiffany, noting that Costco clearly had not acted in good faith when slapping the name on their jewelry cases. It started in 2012, when a customer reported to Tiffany that she saw rings for sale that had its name but weren’t actually made or officially licensed by the company. Costco countered that “Tiffany” is a generic name.
