Judge Rules Against Ben and Jerry's in Fight over West Bank Sales

(AP-Washington Post) Wilson Ring - U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Carter on Monday rejected a request by Ben & Jerry's to block a plan by its corporate parent Unilever to allow its products to be sold in eastern Jerusalem and the West Bank against their wishes. Carter ruled that "The products sold in Israel and the West Bank will use no English trademarks, instead displaying new Hebrew and Arabic language Ben & Jerry's trademarks. Thus, the products sold in Israel and the West Bank will be dissimilar from other Ben & Jerry's products, mitigating, if not eliminating, the possibility of reputational harm."
