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.
A bottle of Jack Daniel's and a "Bad Spaniels" dog toy, whose manufacturer is the subject of a lawsuit by the whiskey maker over allegations of trademark infringement.WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Wednesday will 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.
The toy in question has a label on its neck saying"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. The problem, she added, is that VIP"sells products mimicking Jack Daniel’s iconic marks and trade dress that mislead consumers, profit from Jack Daniel’s hard-earned goodwill, and associate Jack Daniel’s whiskey with excrement."
