[quote="Jiirani"]But Moulin Rouge just means red windmill. It's just two French words. The shouldn't really have been able to sue for that I wouldn't think.[/quote]
I don't know how language would play in to it, but the really contentious part at the time that landed it on the news was how could Moulin Rouge the production sue over use of the name Moulin Rouge while Moulin Rouge the actual cabaret was using it first and how much of a right the movie had to sue. I don't know what happened with the place in NYC but the New Jersey one changed name. Unfortunately this all transpired before I worked at a law firm or I'm sure I'd have followed it a little more.
