Two Hollywood hospitality firms are fighting over the intellectual property rights for a popular Italian restaurant in Los Angeles, with one attempting to stop the other from expanding to a location in a new Strip resort.
Relevant Group, an L.A.-based hospitality company behind the historic Hollywood Citizen News building’s renovation and several hotel projects in the Hollywood area, sued Ten Five Hospitality and Dan Daley in Nevada District Court on July 18 to prevent Daley and his firm from opening a Mother Wolf restaurant in the Fontainebleau, a 67-story resort-casino expected to open in December, court records show.
Relevant Group alleges that Daley, the group’s former chief operating officer who helped launch the restaurant when it opened, and his Ten Five firm conspired to “steal corporate opportunities”.
