Uma Thurman must be feeling confident after getting her stalker convicted, because she was back in court for another case this week.

Thurman responded to French cosmetics giant Lancome's lawsuit against her with one of her own Friday, taking their contract dispute over the use of her name and likeness in an advertising campaign to federal court.

The actress says that Lancome Parfums et Beaute & Cie boosted its worldwide sales and enhanced its "prestige, stature and bargaining power" by helping retailers and others use her name and likeness in advertising and promotions after her contract expired.

Uma wants $15 million in damages.

The dispute stems from a two-year contract Thurman and the company signed in April 2000, with an option to extend the agreement for another two years.

According to the contract, Thurman would be paid $5.8 million for the first two years and $3.1 million for each additional year, if the company exercised its option.

Lancome claimed the contract specifies that the company was not responsible if third parties used her name and face after the agreement lapsed.

The lawsuit topped a busy week for Thurman in Manhattan courts. On Wednesday, Jack Jordan was convicted in the state court's criminal branch of stalking and harassing her.
