Germany: May product search on Amazon amount to trademark infringement by Amazon?

The Higher District Court of Cologne held in preliminary injunction proceedings that use of a distinctive trademark on amazon.de for displaying other comparable products not originating from the trademark owner may be a trademark infringement (decision of 20 November 2015 on Case 6 U 40/15).

Please see my blog post on this interesting decision on the Kluwer Trademark Blog.
