Jack Daniel's Wins Trademark Battle Over Dog Toy in Supreme Court

The US Supreme Court has ruled in favour of Jack Daniel's in a lawsuit against a company that sells a dog toy resembling the whiskey bottle. The court found that the toy is a trademark violation and threw out an appeal that found it to be a "non-commercial" parody. The case is now back to lower courts. The whiskey makers argued that the toy was profiting from their goodwill and confusing consumers. The decision is the second intellectual property law that the court has ruled on in recent months.
