Las Vegas Sands Files Trademark Infringement on Casino Sites

If you know anything about CEO Sheldon Adelson’s stance on online gambling, you wouldn’t expect that the Las Vegas Sands Corporation (LVS)would be operating an Internet casino of its own. And while you’d be right about that, the Sands is concerned that some groups out there are trying to use its name to promote the very practice the company is fighting against.

LVS launched trademark infringement proceedings in a Nevada federal court on Friday, in an attempt to prevent a variety of websites from using its registered trademarks without permission from the company. The Sands says that 35 Asian sites are using either its registered trademark, or a series of Chinese characters that spell out the trademark, in an attempt to deceive potential customers.
