A federal jury told Costco to pay Tiffany and Co. $5.5 million in compensation for selling counterfeit Tiffany diamond engagement rings.
Last year, a district judge ruled that Costco had knowingly used Tiffany's trademark by selling rings bearing the luxury retailer's name.
The rings were sold at a hefty discount by Costco.
The wholesaler argued that Tiffany's trademarks were invalid because the name stood for a generic type of ring setting.
