    Default MGM sues Chinese online casino for trademark infringement, cybersquatting

    LiveMGM.com, a Chinese language site, is accused of pretending to be the real MGM in a attempt to "lure gamblers to gamble at its illicit website," according to a lawsuit filed in US District Court for the District of Nevada on Thursday

    MGM accuses the unnamed operator of incorporating the company’s trademarks, including its famous lion logo, for the purpose of "impersonating MGM and trading off of the substantial fame goodwill and consumer recognition" of the MGM name.

    From Yogonet.com:

    The casino giant is seeking injunctive relief against the operator, as well as transfer of the domain name, plus compensatory and punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees and costs . . . The filing notes that LiveMGM.com’s homepage even contains a false copyright notice at the bottom of the home page, stating “Copyright MGM Resorts International”
