- holding a complaint alleging the insured made statements that could give the false impression that the plaintiff’s goods were of inferior quality triggered an insurer’s duty to defend its insured against allegations of trade libel
- stating an insurer must defend its insured even where a complaint does not allege facts sufficient to succeed on the merits because merely implicating a cause of action covered by an insurance policy triggers the duty to defend
- false implication regarding third-party plaintiffs products
