Internet casino gambling Bodog has regained the bodog.com domain name after resolving a patentinfringement lawsuit with 1st Technology LLC this week. The Morris Mohawk Gaming Group (MMGG),Which handles the Bodog brand in North America, brokered deal with 1st Technology.
The agreement as well ends the long-running patent quarrels between 1st Technology and Bodog and
covers the usage of core multimedia patents for progressive gambling products.
In the early lawsuit, 1st Technology inferred the internet online gaming company was illegally ctivating a “method and system for interactively transferring multimedia information over a network which requires a reduced bandwidth,” according to court papers.
Bodog lost the majority of its Bodog.com domain titles in August of 2007 after not appearing in
court to defend itself or defiance the $48 million judgment ordered by Judge Roger L. Hunt.
The return of the bodog.com domain promises to have a important effect on Bodog’s worldwide business.
The MMGG site will be transitioned to this domain over the coming weeks.Furthermore, MMGG have
only just this morning inked a deal with Bodog Antigua, from whom they license the Bodog brand.
Managing director of Bodog Europe, was also pleased with the settlement.
Targeting will be used to guarantee visitors outside of the MMGG’s territory are guided to the
correct site, including www.bodoglife.co.uk. This way, the marketing efforts of every
licensee to advertise www.bodog.com benefit all, eventually supporting and strengthening the
global brand. It will definitely be a win-win-win resolution.”
