A federal judge this week granted Amazon’s request to throw out one claim in Apple’s lawsuit against it — namely the allegation that Amazon engaged in false advertising by using the term “Appstore” for its slew of Android-based online offerings. Other claims Apple is alleging against Amazon, including one for trademark infringement, are going forward in the trial. Apple filed its suit in 2011, claiming the trademark “App Store” for its own, when it became clear that Amazon’s play in the tablet space would extend beyond Kindle e-reader devices.
