StumbleLV casino resort sues Internet firm over trademark dispute
Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2001 | 11:47 a.m.
The MGM Grand Hotel sued to stop a Huntington Beach, Calif.-based operator of an online casino from using the MGM trademark to advertise online gaming.
In a U.S. District Court lawsuit, MGM sued Sarkis Pelthkian and MGM Sportsbook, alleging they refused on Nov. 6 to relinquish their "mgmsportsbook.com" domain name until after the football season because they were "making good money" at the website.
The suit said Pelthkian offered to sell the domain name to MGM instead.
The defendants could not be reached for comment.
