Practice Area: Business And Commercial Litigation Key Issues: False Advertising, Unfair Business Practices, Organic, Cosmetics, Natural, Certification, Federal Preemption, FDA, USDA Venue: San Francisco District Court Client Type: Defendant French Certifier of Organic Cosmetics Description: Dr. Bronner's Magic Soups sued Ecocert, a French company that certified natural and organic cosmetic products pursuant to a standard approved by the French Government, and numerous cosmetic companies in a complaint that alleged that the cosmetic companies claimed that their products were "organic" when they allegedly were not. The plaintiff alleged that Ecocert s certification standard was misleading although it was publicly available and approved by the French Government. Following numerous attempts to state a valid cause of action, the California Superior Court dismissed the case on the grounds that plaintiff lacked standing to bring the claims. The plaintiff thereafter filed a Lanham Act claim in Federal court which made the same types of allegations made in state court. Ecocert's position throughout was that it certified products based on a life-cycle assessment of a firm's cosmetic ingredients, and that it certified products pursuant to a publicly available standard, approved by the French Government, which was posted on the web in a multitude of languages, including English. Result: The state court case was dismissed after the plaintiff was given numerous opportunities to amend its complaint to attempt to state a valid claim, due to its lack of standing to bring the claim. In essence, Dr. Bronner was unable to show that it was harmed in any manner that would allow it relief under California State law. In

7 federal court, the case was dismissed as to Ecocert on two grounds: a) Federal preemption (U.S.D.A. administered a national organic program that occupied the regulatory arena), and b) Ecocert and Dr. Bronner were not competitors, as required to state a claim under the Lanham Act. In addressing the publicity that arose from the litigation, RMKB also assisted in helping the public to understand that plaintiff's goal was to impose its view of what an "organic" standard should upon the rest of the commercial world, a standard that did not reflect the views of governmental regulations or most consumers. Key Issues: Organization of Business Entities; Commercial Contracts Client Type: Aircraft Maintenance Company Description: Responsible for all aspects of organization, domestic and international legal work associated within an aircraft maintenance company set up to assure the maintenance of a leading aircraft manufacturer fleet.
