The Supreme Court to debate whether Jack Daniel's has to grin and bear it over humorous dog 'poop-themed' toys that bear a resemblance to its iconic whiskey bottles.

There appeared to be some agreement that an appeals court decision in favor of VIP was incorrectly decided, but whether the justices issue a broad ruling that would have a wider impact on trademark law remains unclear. A label on the toy's neck says"Old No. 2" in reference to the"Old No. 7" label on Jack Daniel's bottles. It also says"Old No. 2 on your Tennessee Carpet" on the body in reference to the"Old No. 7 Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey" main label featured on the whiskey bottles.

Justice Samuel Alito was among those who raised questions about the ramifications of a broad ruling in favor of Jack Daniel's.

My dog has a similar bud lite type bottle. They aren't complaining.

ffs... what a load of bs A shape of a bottle is property? That's beyond delusional. Many soda brands use the same shape so it fits certain machines and you get money back when empty bottles are returned and that is all fine Might not drink JackDaniels_US any time soon
