A company that lost a suit accusing Amway Corp. and some of its distributors of spreading false rumors about its involvement with Satanism says the judge improperly applied the actual-malice standard and it will appeal.
Mike Gallagher, who represents Procter & Gamble, which filed the suit, says the appeal should decide whether the standard should apply in a Lanham Act case.
