Intellectual Property Law

So I thought I'd use Las Vegas as an inspiration point to check out some of the more interesting Vegas-tinged trademarks:

Dave's Fabulous Las Vegas Barbecue Sauce. The logo is a take off on the famous Las Vegas sign.

Erotic Suite Palms Las Vegas. The suite features a dancer's pole, a round bed & a $4000 per night cost.

What happens in VEGAS...Ends up on the Internet... is currently being opposed by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority based on their filing of What Happens Here, Stays Here, which is suspended pending the disposition of What Happens in Vegas Does Not Always Stay in Vegas & 2 marks for What Happens Here, Stays Here, which is the LV Convention & Visitors Authority mark.

Looking further into these marks is a bit like Alice falling into the rabbit hole:

What Happens in VEGAS...Ends up on the Internet is being opposed by What Happens Here, Stays Here, which is suspended pending the outcome of their other filing for What Happens Here, Stays Here, which is suspended pending the outcome of What Happens in Vegas Does Not Always Stay in Vegas AND their 2 other marks for What Happens Here, Stays Here, which is suspending pending the outcome of What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas, which is currently being opposed by...dun dun dun the owner of What Happens Here, Stays Here. PHEW, get all that?
