United States Sixth Circuit

Where the plain meaning of an "advertising injury" was defined in subject insurance policy as "piracy" and "unfair competition," the term did not arguably cover the losses due to patent litigation; thus, judgment awarding attorney's fees and costs, based on conclusion that insurer had a duty to defend patent litigation, was reversed.
