Jay Z Suing over Club Name

Why do people think they can get away with stuff like this? Boston Red Sox David Ortiz named his night club in the Dominican Republic The 40/40 club.
And Jay Z is not having it. According to reports,

The sportsman has reportedly called his place Forty/Forty - the same name as Jay-Z's sports bars in New York, Las Vegas and Atlantic City , New Jersey.
In a lawsuit filed in Manhattan's federal court on Thursday (15Apr10), Jay-Z and partner Juan Perez accused the Boston Red Sox star of infringing upon the name of their clubs.
The lawsuit states, "David Ortiz is fully aware of plaintiff’s Manhattan 40/40 Club , since he had been a patron there on several occasions, long before he opened his infringing Forty/Forty Club."
