Trademark - MGM files lawsuit over Gold Strike casino
If you wish to register trademark in Malaysia and Singapore, please visit Tiger Intellectual.
MGM Resorts International is suing an Internet poker operator, charging it’s infringing on the Gold Strike casino trademarks.
MGM Resorts filed suit Thursday in federal court in Las Vegas against WorldPokerRewardsClub.com Company Inc. and John George of Blaine, Wash.
The suit says the defendants have websites called goldstrikepoker.com and goldstrikepoker.net and have registered user names containing the Gold Strike name on social network sites including Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook.
The use of the Gold Strike name infringes on MGM Resorts’ trademark covering its Gold Strike hotel-casinos in Jean, Nev., south of Las Vegas; and in Tunica, Miss., the lawsuit alleges.
The suit says attorneys for MGM Resorts in July asked the defendants to cease their allegedly infringing activities and that they voluntarily transfer the allegedly infringing website domain names to MGM Resorts.
The suit says George agreed to change the name of his website to "Gold Rush Poker,’’ but the defendants refused to turn over the website domain names because they are valuable and demanded that MGM Resorts buy them.
MGM Resorts also alleges that after the defendants were confronted by MGM Resorts in July, they filed applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to obtain trademarks covering the marks........

Trademark Agent_T-shirt seller sued over Steelers
Trademark Agent in Asia, include Singapore Malaysia China Thailand Brunei Indonesia Vietnam India Hong Kong, Taiwan
(Reuters) - The Pittsburgh Steelers and a school for disabled students are suing a company for selling T-shirts that allegedly infringe on the trademark of The Terrible Towel, a yellow-and-black cloth often twirled by the football team's fans.
The lawsuit alleges that Eugene Berry Enterprise LLC filed a trademark application in May for "The Terrible T-Shirt" and had been selling the shirts emblazoned with those words and "A Pittsburgh Original," court documents said.
Attorneys for the Allegheny Valley School, which owns the Terrible Towel trademark, asked the company to withdraw the application before its owner attempted to have more of the shirts printed, the documents said. It has been selling the shirts since February, according to the suit.
The suit, filed on Monday, alleges trademark infringement, unfair competition, fraud and other offenses. It seeks damages including profits from the T-shirts, attorneys' fees and other expenses.
The late sportscaster Myron Cope invented The Terrible Towel in the mid-1970s. In 1996, he gave the trademark to the Allegheny Valley School, where his autistic son lived. The Steelers have an exclusive license to market Terrible Towel-marked items.
A spokesman for the Steelers and a spokeswoman for the school declined to comment. Eugene Berry Enterprise could not immediately be reached for comment.

What is Trademark, can the colour red be trademarked ?
What is Trademark, can the colour red be trademarked ?

Louboutin tried to slap YSL with an injunction in April, to prevent the company from selling “infringing footwear” with red soles, including a platform shoe that is red all over.
“YSL is seeking to take unfair advantage of the enormous goodwill and brand recognition in the Red Sole Mark that we have developed over the past two decades,” according to legal documents filed by lawyers representing Louboutin in a New York City district court in April........ read more: http://www.thestar.com/business/article/1046694--if-the-red-shoe-fits-sue-your-competition
