Hard Rock Cafe Licensing Corp. v. Concession Services, Inc., 955 F.2d 1143 (7th Cir. 1992), is a case from the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, which extended contributory liability to the context of flea market operators. Finding no distinction between the responsibilities of a landlord-owner and a manufacturer-distributor, the Court applied the Inwood test, holding Concession Services liable for "willful blindness" where they had knowledge that counterfeit Hard Rock Cafe merchandise was being sold at their market and did nothing to "detect or prevent" such sales.
