A California retailer that sells miniature furniture and home accessories is suing online auction site eBay Inc. for refusing to take down auctions that it claims infringe on its trademark.

Hansson Inc. in Santa Clara, Calif., filed the lawsuit late last month against eBay and an eBay seller in Atlantic City that it claims has been selling miniature furniture on the auction site under the Hansson name since Aug. 1, 2004.
