Charging false advertising, Maybelline won a federal district court order halting shipments and ads for its rival's mascara. Last week Noxell persuaded an appeals court to issue a temporary stay of the lower court's order, and the company resumed its sales. Maybelline did not even blink before heading back to court for the next round...
