Macy’s sued the media and merchandising company Stewart founded for breaching an exclusive contract when she signed a deal with Penney in December 2011 to open shops at most of its stores this spring. Macy’s, which has sold Martha Stewart products including towels and pots since 2007, is trying to block Penney from selling those products. The trial is clearly more than a vanilla contract dispute.
