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 ?
That’s the question at the heart of a legal battle between French shoemaker Christian Louboutin, designer of the iconic, sky-high, red-soled shoes worn by celebrities like Oprah and Angelina Jolie, and Yves St. Laurent, the fashion powerhouse launched in 1962 that now sells everything from lipstick to luggage and occasionally, red-soled shoes. 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

LAMBRETTA: THIS IS NOT AN IMITATION!
Tuesday 09/08/2011
AsiaNet 45844
KUALA LUMPUR, August 9/BERNAMA-AsiaNet/ –
With reference to the statement sent on 2nd August 2011 by Lambretta SA (company in liquidation) to the press agencies worldwide, the companies Motom Electronics Group S.p.a. (MEG) and Clag International Ltd (CLAG) jointly specify as follows:
1) The trademark Lambretta was sold in 1972 by the Innocenti family, founder of the brand, to an Indian company called “Scooters India Ltd” (SIL).
2) In 2006, SIL granted a license for the use of the trademark Lambretta to an English company called Fine White Line Ltd. (FWL).
3) In 2010, FWL granted sub licenses for the use of the trademark Lambretta to MEG and CLAG for Class 12 products (engine power vehicles).
MEG and CLAG therefore use the trademark Lambretta by virtue of license agreements which allow them to sell, in most countries of the world, scooters with the trademark Lambretta.
Despite the legitimacy of the use of the mark Lambretta by MEG and CLAG, the “Lambretta Consortium” for several years has been trying to revoke the rights of the original Lambretta trademark, owned by SIL, alleging that the trademark had not been put to genuine use, with the purpose of prevailing with subsequent registrations of the trademark Lambretta made by the Consortium.
The Court in Milan (Italy) with three decisions (decision n. 8912/2010 of the 7.7.2010; injunction of 26.11.2008; injunction of 30.5.2011) has established that the trademark Lambretta owned by the Company SIL is valid and cannot be revoked and decided that so far there are no reasons to consider terminated the sub-license contract for the use of the trademark Lambretta.
Defeated in the Italian courts, the Lambretta Consortium is seeking to stop the industrial and commercial activities of MEG and CLAG, by taking actions around the world aimed at preventing suppliers and distributors of the legitimate sub-licensees from continuing the collaboration with MEG and CLAG.
At present the Lambretta Consortium is issuing press releases worldwide. In addition, the Lambretta Consortium filed an application to the OAMI, the European trademark and patent office, in order to register under the name of its holding company, Lambretta Srl, the intellectual property of the industrial models of a scooter designed and previously registered by CLAG.
These actions will be pursued before via MEG and CLAG’s lawyers.
MEG and CLAG, confident of their rights, wish to inform their clients and suppliers that they continue with their industrial and commercial network, the re-launch around the world of the mythical brand Lambretta, of which they confirm to be legitimate sub-licensees.

Apple Complaint Against HTC Over Flyer Tablet PC to Get U.S. Trade Review
This news referred from http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-08-08/apple-complaint-against-htc-over-flyer-to-get-trade-review-1-.html
Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s patent-infringement complaint against HTC Corp. (2498) will be reviewed by a U.S. trade agency that has the power to block imports of the Taiwanese company’s phones and new Flyer tablet computers.
The International Trade Commission said it will investigate Apple’s accusations that HTC infringed five patents related to software architecture and user interfaces in portable electronic devices, hardware for touch screens and movement sensors. Notice of the decision was posted on the agency’s website today.
A trade judge last month said HTC infringed two other Apple patents, a decision subject to review by the six-member commission. If the commission agrees, it could order an import ban on certain HTC phones that run on Google Inc. (GOOG)’s Android operating system.
HTC, based in Taoyuan, Taiwan, has denied infringing any Apple patents and pledged to challenge last month’s findings. It has its own complaint pending against Cupertino, California- based Apple, with a judge scheduled to release his determination in September.
“HTC respects intellectual property and will continue to protect and defend its protected innovations,” Grace Lei, general counsel at HTC, said in an e-mail. “We will fully cooperate with the ITC’s investigation and look forward to showing that we are not in violation of any of Apple’s patents.”
In March, HTC released the Flyer, its first tablet device in the U.S. to rival Apple’s iPad and Samsung’s Galaxy Tab. The Flyer has a 7-inch screen and uses Android. The latest Apple complaint also targets HTC mobile phones including the Droid Incredible, Wildfire, EVO 4G and Desire.
The new complaint is In the Matter of Portable Electronic Devices and Related Software, 337-797, U.S. International Trade Commission (Washington). Apple’s earlier case against HTC is In the Matter of Certain Personal Data and Mobile Communications Devices and Related Software, and the HTC case against Apple is In the Matter of Portable Electronic Devices, 337-721, both ITC.
