Article Excerpt:

Like the Gallo name in the wine business, the Korum name is well known in the car dealership business — in the south Puget Sound area, at least.

And like the Gallos, the Korums may differ as to who has rights to the family name in connection with the family business.

The Ninth Circuit famously laid the Gallos’ dispute to rest twenty years ago in E. & J. Gallo Winery v. Gallo Cattle Company, 967 F.2d 1280 (9th Cir. 1992).

The Western District of Washington may be just getting started with respect to the Korums.
