Alcohol. Sex. Gambling. Oh my!

I just finished the
For Adults Only breakout session at the INTA Annual Meeting. We learned about the New York Stock Exchange’s lawsuit concerning New York Slot Exchange. We learned about the Miami Dolphins taking action and then resolving a dispute concerning the Dancing Dolphins slot machine. And we learned about Playboy’s worldwide presence as an intellectual property owner and icon.

Anamaria Cashman of Playboy gave us a review of Playboy’s history, intellectual property and otherwise. For the fashion crowd, Playboy received the first trademark registration for a costume -- the Playboy bunny costume -- at the United States Patent & Trademark Office on January 7, 1964.
