Catfight In Hollywood

The fabled Hollywood hotel Chateau Marmont has sent a cease and desist letter to a cats-only grooming and boarding service named Cateau Marmont. Change your name or face the consequences is their demand. Claims could involve trademark infringement, trademark dilution and unfair competition. Cateau’s lawyer responds that there are some key differences between the two businesses. “To our knowledge, your client has never used its luxury hotel rooms to shelter homeless animals,” he writes. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Chateau Marmont doesn’t seem concerned about a Beverly Grove dog spa named Chateau Marmutt, which has been in business for nearly 20 years.
