     The U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland was chosen as the forum for litigating the following cases, as published by Justia:

• Moulin Rouge, S.A. v. Moulin Rouge Caterers, Inc. et al, 07 civ 02482 (D. Md. 2007), filed Sep. 18, 2007.

According to court papers, Plaintiff Moulin Rouge, S.A., is a Belgian corporation having its principal place of business in Paris, France. It owns the famous French trademark MOULIN ROUGE, which, in English, means "red windmill."  The mark has allegedly been in use in France continuously since 1889 when the famous Parisian cabaret first opened (first use in commerce in the U.S. since 1981). Moulin Rouge reportedly owns several U.S. trademark registrations covering live music stage shows and theater productions.  Defendants are Gaithersburg, MD-based Moulin Rouge Caterers and its owner Mohammad Taghi Yahyavi. Moulin Rouge, S.A., which is represented by Robert Bowie, Jr. of BOWIE & JENSEN LLC, is alleging trademark dilution, infringement, and unfair competition.

• Allegis Group, Inc. v. Bizet Human Asset Management, 07 civ 02497 (D. Md. 2007), filed Sep. 18, 2007.  

In court papers, Plaintiff Hanover, MD-based Allegis Group, Inc., which provide human capital services, alleges it has used the mark "PEOPLE. SERVICE. PERFORMANCE" in commerce before Pittsburgh, PA-based Bizet Human Asset Management began using  its federal trademark "PEOPLE.  PROCESS.  PERFORMANCE."  When Bizet allegedly failed to cease using its trademark on its website, despite canceling its registration, Allegis sued for infringement under 15 U.S.C. § 1051.  Allegis Group is represented by Sherry Flax of Saul Ewing LLP.
