Supreme Court weighs in on Jack Daniel's trademark dispute involving dog toys.

The US Supreme Court is considering whether a dog toy company violated trademark laws or expressed its First Amendment rights when creating a chew toy shaped and labeled to look like a Jack Daniel’s whiskey bottle. Jack Daniel’s is appealing a lower court’s ruling that the Bad Spaniels vinyl chew toy sold by Phoenix-based VIP Products falls under protection of the First Amendment as an "expressive" piece of work. The whiskey company claims VIP Products' toy constitutes a trademark infringement. The justices are expected to decide on the case by the end of June.
