oldschoolny Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 March 13, 2004 -- NIGHTLIFE impresario Frank Cilione has taken a Miami club to court for trademark infringement. Cilione - owner of NV in Manhattan, Resort in East Hampton and Tsunami restaurant in West Palm Beach - learned of the infraction last year when he received a call from Ocean Drive magazine congratulating him on the opening of NV, "his new club in Miami." Although Cilione's lawyers sent a cease-and-desist letter to Club NV, it has continued to operate under that name for more than a year. Cilione recently filed suit to shut it down entirelyhttp://www.nypost.com/gossip/17103.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobe2003 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Don't think they will win as they call themselves eNVy unless he has that trademarked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pod Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 It is not just the letters, it is the usage. The letters NV are trademarked by this guy as a name for a nightclub... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobeton Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 don't use "NV" and "club " together.. people often refer to a place by name, and don't use the common facility name associated with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
