Tuesday, April 30, 2:13 PM Macy's (M -0.7%) loses its appeal seeking to bar J.C. Penney (JCP -3.6%) from selling unbranded goods from Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSO -4%). The ruling helps solve one of J.C. Penney's nagging inventory issues and could set up the JCP Everyday brand for gains if store traffic can be revived. Comment! [Consumer]

Wednesday, April 17, 3:18 AM New York Appeals Judge Richard Andrias has temporarily blocked J.C. Penney (JCP) from selling "JCP Everyday" products designed by Martha Stewart (MSO). Andrias is due to decide by tomorrow whether to extend the ban while an appeal from Macy's (M) over whether JCP can sell the products is pending. On Friday, a lower-court judge ruled that JCP could do so. (previous) 4 Comments [Consumer, Top Stories]
Friday, April 12, 1:24 PM A judge in the J.C. Penney (JCP -3%) vs. Macy's (M +0.2%) trial rules that the retailer can sell Martha Stewart (MSO +0.4%) goods under its JCP Everyday label. Macy's request to expand an injunction was denied. The development gives J.C. Penney a little breathing room with its inventory, although a final ruling in the case could still go against it. Comment! [Consumer]
Friday, April 12, 12:53 PM Though it lost its claims of unfair competition against J.C. Penney JCP, Macy's M still has a single claim of tortious interference against the retailer alive. The next ruling from Judge Jeffrey Oing could be on if an injunction against J.C. Penney that blocks it from selling Martha Stewart Living goods will be broadened, extended, or dismissed. (Bloomberg video) Comment! [Consumer]
Friday, April 12, 10:27 AM A judge dismisses the claim from Macy's (M +1.9%) of unfair competition by J.C. Penney (JCP -2.9%). The ruling could clear the path for the retailer to sell Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSO) lines again unimpeded. 5 Comments [Consumer]
Friday, April 12, 5:31 AM A judge yesterday refused to dismiss Macy's (M) claim that Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSO) breached the companies' contract when the latter designed goods for J.C. Penney (JCP), even if the products aren't labelled as being from Martha Stewart. The judge is expected to decide today whether to temporarily bar Penney from selling those products, which are branded "JCP Everyday." 1 Comment [Consumer]
Thursday, April 11, 5:09 AM Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSO) yesterday won a victory in its trial with Macey's (M) after a judge agreed to dismiss a "secondary" claim that Martha Stewart breached a confidentiality requirement in its licensing contract with Macy's by revealing details of their partnership to J.C. Penney (JCP). The judge will today hear Martha Stewart's arguments that he throw out Macy's more central claims. (previous) Comment! [Consumer]
Friday, March 8, 1:45 PM Shares of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSO +4.3%) get a little pick-me-up after a judge in the trial between the retailer and J.C. Penney against Macy's (M +1.1%) throws the case into mediation. Does J.C. Penney (JCP +1.6%) have the time to wait out a protracted settlement negotiation? Retail watcher The Talented Blonde notes that the MSO-JCP deal was designed to bring back its once-strong home department. The clock is ticking. 3 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
Friday, March 8, 4:03 AM Justice Jeffrey Oing has ordered Macy's (M), J.C. Penney (JCP) and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia into mediation to sort out their dispute over JCP's deal to sell Martha Stewart products in its stores despite the latter's contract with Macy's. Macy's CEO Terry Lundgren and Martha Stewart (MSO) had already made a start before Oing's order, speaking to each other for the first time in 15 months. 7 Comments [Consumer]
Wednesday, March 6, 9:48 AM The Macy's vs. Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia and J.C. Penney trial continues without any clear winner in sight yet. In a nutshell: 1) Macy's (M) CEO Terry Lundgren became enraged over a plan to place Martha Stewart shops inside of J.C. Penney stores in what his firm calls a breach of contract. 2) Martha Stewart is flabbergasted Lundgren hung up on her. 3) Naturally, JCP CEO Ron Johnson thought he had them both outsmarted. After the dust settles, retail analysts think MSO will suffer the most with its brand tarnished. 10 Comments [Consumer]
Tuesday, March 5, 9:51 AM Martha Stewart is reported to be on the stand in the case involving Macy's (M +1.4%), J.C. Penney (JCP -6.3%), and Marth Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSO +0.4%). Though some analysts think shares of JCP might swing wildly one way or the other after a verdict is announced in the trial, others think that in the long run all three retailers are tarnished by the airing of dirty laundry and accusations of double-dealing. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
Monday, March 4, 9:41 AM Regardless of the outcome of the Macy's vs. Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSO -3.5%) trial, analysts warn the Martha Stewart brand could take a hit after the executive gets painted in an unflattering light once again. An e-mail from JCP CEO Ron Johnson on a rather large incentive for MSO to skirt around a Macy's contract says it all: "Martha can earn $500 million if things go well and I don’t think anyone else could provide this to her." 2 Comments [Consumer]
Tuesday, February 26, 8:22 AM Macy's vs. Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia: Macy's (M) CEO Terry Lundgren painted an unflattering portrait of Martha Stewart and her company in a New York courtroom yesterday, accusing the exec of blatantly violating a contract to see the retailer be the exclusive seller of Martha Stewart products. In its defense, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSO) maintains a shop within a JCP shop counts as an exclusive store outside the bounds of the contract. Whatever happens in the courtroom, Macy's was the clear earnings report winner this morning (M, MSO). Comment! [Consumer]
