Los Angeles- Wheelchair-bound porn king Larry Flynt today sued his nephews in Los Angeles federal court to stop them from using the internationally known Flynt name for their new adult-video company.

According to the trademark infringement complaint, nephews Jimmy Flynt II and Dustin Flynt have advertised and announced seven adult movies to be released under the Flynt Media name.

Larry Flynt alleges in the suit his nephews, who worked for him until last year, are “seeking to trade off and usurp the famous Flynt name” and trademark of their uncle in order to “confuse the public into buying their inferior products.”

Calls to Dustin Flynt and plaintiff attorney Mark Hoffman after business hours today were not immediately returned.

The lawsuit states that Larry Flynt, through his various Larry Flynt Publishing companies, has used the Flynt name as a trademark since the early 1970s in connection with such entities as Hustler magazine and similar publications, adult-themed video and DVD releases, various Internet Web sites and adult-content stores.

Also, the suit points out, Flynt was the subject of the 1996 film “The People vs. Larry Flynt,” in which Flynt was depicted “heroically championing the rights of free expression under the First Amendment.”

The complaint seeks injunctive relief and general damages.
