Judge rules in favor of New York’s Plaza Hotel
Owners of the Plaza Hotel in New York City weren't malicious toward owners of the Plaza Hotel in downtown Las Vegas when the former group sought to build a hotel of the same name on the Strip, a judge ruled today.
The ruling by Clark County District Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez means Tamares Las Vegas Properties, owners of the local Plaza, won't get punitive damages from Elad Group, owners of the New York Plaza as part of a trademark dispute.
But the question of whether Elad can use the Plaza name in Las Vegas over Tamares' objection will be left to a jury.
