Jack Daniel's wins trademark dispute over poop-themed dog toy in Supreme Court

The US Supreme Court ruled in favor of Jack Daniel's in a trademark dispute over "poop-themed" dog toys that resemble the company's whiskey bottles. The court rejected VIP Products' argument that the toys are protected as free speech under the First Amendment. The court returned the case to lower courts for further proceedings. The ruling was narrow and did not provide special First Amendment protection to VIP's alleged infringement of the Jack Daniel's trademark.
