A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on Monday upheld a district court ruling in favor of lottery website and app Jackpot.com in a trademark suit filed by lottery website and app Jackpocket, finding that “jackpot” is a generic term in the lottery and gaming industry.
Through its attorneys at Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, Jackpocket sued Jackpot.com in 2022, arguing that Jackpot.com was intentionally trying to deceive and confuse consumers by choosing a similar name as it entered the U.S. market.
