Huge Casino Threatens Small Blues Club For Using The Word ‚Live‘ In Its Name

Trademark bullying occurs because it works. Brown has said he‘s reached out to the casino to plead that something be worked out, but the casino can‘t seem to find a way to let a blues supper club use the word „live.“ In a just world, this kind of bullying would result in the casino losing this overly-broad and common trademark entirely. Sadly, this world is often not quite so just as that.
