Abstract

Topic: Answers Too

In this paper, I will summarize the arguments between Toys R Us and Amazon.com.
I will also summarize the rationale given by the judges for their decisions in this argument.

1. After a lengthy trial, the Court found that defendant Amazon.com had breached an agreement it had entered into with plaintiff ToysRUs.com LLC ("Toys R Us"), by permitting third parties to sell toys on Amazon's web site.

Toys R Us would still see the profits from the sales of other retailers and they would not undersell Toys R Us products. They entered this agreement before they could realize the consequences and the profits that could be made. They entered it knowing what it could lead to, but did not think ahead to what the future could and would hold for an agreement. I am sure if they could do it all over again they would think a lot further into the future and what it would hold for both companies. Unfortunately, that chance has come and gone and there are no redo, because it went so far beyond the point of return during the long and lengthy
