centurion card
black card llc successfully registered "black card" as a u.s. trademark in 2009. however, american express offers its own exclusive black-colored card called the centurion card, which it contended was widely known as "the black card" before the launch of the black card (then visa card), despite never seeking to trademark that name itself. american express filed suit against black card llc in february 2010, claiming that the trademark was obtained improperly and sought injunctive relief. this suit was concluded in november 2011, with the u.s. district court for the southern district of new york ruling that black card, llc's trademark of the name "black card" should be canceled on grounds that it was merely descriptive. (see also "american express marketing and development corp, et al. v. black card, llc", 2011 u.s. dist. lexis 133151 (s.d.n.y. november 17, 2011.)
