PartyGaming Sued for Trademark Infringement

Posted on 10 September 2008

In an opinion filed by a panel of judges in the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday, PartyGaming, the parent company of Party Poker, may be liable for up to $287.4 million in damages. The suit, which was filed by WMS Gaming, Incorporated, alleges that PartyGaming infringed on WMS trademarks “Jackpot Party” and “Super Jackpot Party.”

The suit claims that WMS Gaming has used the Jackpot Party trademark since 1998 and the Super Jackpot Party trademark since 2004. The trademarks were registered by WMS Gaming in 1997 and 2002, respectively. Between 2004 and 2006, Party Poker “used approximate and even exact reproductions of WMS’ marks for that business, throughout the world and in the United States. Its use of WMS’ marks is well-documented.”
