A jury in a federal court decided in favor of Pace-O-Matic and its subsidiaries that the name and related images of "Pennsylvania Skill" are the company's sole property, according to a press release. The case was brought against a company named Pennsylvania Skill Games LLC, which the jury found wrongfully copied and attempted to trademark the "Pennsylvania Skill" name.

The case is "POM of Pennsylvania et al. v. Pennsylvania Skill Games," case number 2:18-cv-00722, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania.

"This latest victory reaffirms that our brand, 'Pennsylvania Skill,' should only be placed on our game terminals," Michael Pace, chairman of Pace-O-Matic, said in the press release. "That is critical because we want our customers and players to know that when they play a Pennsylvania Skill game, they are playing a legal game of skill."
