Amazon - Barnes & Noble sued Amazon
Time: Monday May 12, 1997
Place: U.S.
Details: Barnes & Noble sued Amazon on May 12, 1997, alleging that Amazon's claim to be "the world's largest bookstore" was false because it "...isn't a bookstore at all. It's a book broker." The suit was later settled out of court and Amazon continued to make the same claim.
