FILE - A bottle of Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey is displayed next to a Bad Spaniels dog toy in Arlington, Va., Nov. 20, 2022. The Supreme Court is hearing a dispute, Wednesday, March 22, 2023 between Jack Daniels and the manufacturer of the squeaking dog toy that parodies the liquors bottle and label. The question for the court has to do with whether the toy makers infringed on Jack Daniels trademarks. Arizona-based VIP Products produces the Bad Spaniels toy.
Justice Samuel Alito expressed skepticism for Jack Daniel's arguments. “Could any reasonable person think that Jack Daniel’s had approved this use of the mark?” he asked at one point, suggesting the toy was an unmistakable parody and legally acceptable. Kagan, whose dry wit is often on display in the courtroom and in her writing, suggested the toy is simply an “ordinary commercial product” that is trading on the look of the liquor company's bottle.

Supreme Court to hear case between Jack Daniel's and dog toy makerIt's a brand battle in the Supreme Court this week as whiskey maker Jack Daniel's Properties, Inc. takes on a dog toy manufacturer in a case over free speech and federal trademark law. I’m no lawyer but even after reading the article I hope the courts side with JackDaniels_US Using it in a mocking way or not it’s their original brand. This is an interesting case! It will be interesting to see how the Supreme Court rules and what implications this has for free speech and trademark law. There are just mad they didn't come up with it, lolol. It's free advertising, leave it alone.....

Jack Daniel's tells Supreme Court its brand is harmed by dog toy Bad SpanielsThe Supreme Court is hearing arguments in a case that pits whiskey giant Jack Daniels against a dog toy maker whose best-selling chewy toy parodies the brand. So what it will do if they win is allow a big corporation to steal a trademark it never bothered to get like big corps do to small businesses but .. they may be able to force the company to give up that trademark even though.. they didnt register it? Judicial Abuse for big corp Interesting approach all things considered… You know because everyone confuses (and compares at the same time) chew toys for dogs with whiskey. 🤦♀️
