Internet search engine Google Inc. said it was weighing a possible appeal after a Paris court ordered it to pay 200,000 euros, or $260,000, plus costs to luxury goods maker Louis Vuitton for breach of trademark.
The high court in central Paris awarded the damages in a decision late Friday and ordered Google to stop displaying advertisements for Vuitton's rivals whenever Internet users typed Vuitton's name or other trademarks into the search engine.
