"Jack Daniel's Unveils Rare American Single Malt Whiskey"

Jack Daniel's has released a new American single malt whiskey, made with malted barley and aged in new, charred American oak barrels before being finished in Oloroso Sherry casks. Unlike traditional single malt Scotch whiskys, there is no peat involved in the production process. The whiskey offers aromas of honey, malted chocolate, and dark fruits, with flavors of bread, dry cherry, and a unique texture from the barley. Priced at $99.99, it is currently available in select-duty free retail locations worldwide, with plans for wider distribution in the future.

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.

Supreme Court favors Jack Daniel's in dog toy trademark dispute.

The US Supreme Court has ruled that the First Amendment does not protect a dog toy resembling a bottle of Jack Daniel's from a lawsuit claiming trademark infringement. The toy, the Bad Spaniels Silly Squeaker, has the shape and other distinctive features of a bottle of Jack Daniel's but with "lighthearted, dog-related alterations." The court unanimously ruled that the infringement claim rises or falls on the likelihood of confusion, and the chew toy's mockery of the liquor bottle had to figure in the analysis.

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

The US Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Jack Daniel's in a trademark dispute with VIP Products over a parody chew toy resembling the distiller's whiskey bottle. The lower court's ruling that the "Bad Spaniels" vinyl chew toy is an "expressive work" protected by the First Amendment was thrown out. The decision could redefine how the judiciary applies constitutional free speech rights to trademark law. The dispute pitted the whiskey brand's trademark rights against legal protections for creative expression.

Supreme Court rules in favor of Jack Daniel's in dog toy trademark dispute.

The Supreme Court has given Jack Daniel's a new chance to win a trademark dispute with the makers of the Bad Spaniels dog toy. The court did not decide whether the toy's maker had violated trademark law but instead sent the case back for further review. The case centers around the Lanham Act, the country's core federal trademark law, which prohibits using a trademark in a way “likely to cause confusion ... as to the origin, sponsorship, or approval of ... goods.”

Jack Daniel's wins trademark dispute over dog toy parody in Supreme Court ruling.

The US Supreme Court has ruled in favour of Jack Daniel's in a legal battle with Bad Spaniel, a dog toy maker that parodies the whiskey brand. The court said that the use of a trademark does not count as non-commercial just because it parodies another's products. Jack Daniel's had tried to stop production and marketing of the dog chew toy, which features a spaniel and the name "Bad Spaniels" on the label instead of the iconic Jack Daniel's name. The company argued that the lower court was wrong to conclude that the toy was a "humorous" and "expressive" work and thus immune from claims that it infringed on Jack Daniel's trademark.

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.

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

The US Supreme Court has ruled in favour of Jack Daniel's in a trademark lawsuit against VIP Products over a poop-themed dog toy that parodies the liquor bottle. The court said the lower court erred when it said the toy was covered by the First Amendment's free speech protections. The ruling allows the liquor maker to revive its trademark lawsuit against VIP Products. However, the court declined to grant the distiller's request to completely throw out the test an appeals court used when it ruled in favour of the toy.

Controversy Erupts Over Jack Daniel's LGBT Campaign Featuring 'Drag Race' Star

Manila Luzon, a former 'Drag Race' star, defends Jack Daniel's 2021 LGBT-friendly campaign featuring drag queens amid a new wave of outrage and boycotts. She argues that companies have entire departments dedicated to market research and inclusivity is good for their bottom line. She also notes that people have the option to boycott a brand if they are not happy with it, but warns that they might be out of products if they boycott every company that runs an LGBT-leaning ad or campaign. Manila has launched the Drag Isn't Dangerous campaign to combat anti-drag politics and is holding a telethon next month to support the LGBTQ community and drag performers.

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.

Supreme Court to Decide Jack Daniel's Trademark Lawsuit Over Dog Toy.

Jack Daniel's has taken a trademark lawsuit against VIP Products, the maker of a dog toy that parodies the whiskey bottle. The US Supreme Court must decide whether the "Bad Spaniels" vinyl chew toy is an "expressive work" protected by the First Amendment or whether it infringes on Jack Daniel's trademark rights. The toy has the same shape as the whiskey bottle with a label that reads "The Old No. 2 on Your Tennessee Carpet" and jokes it's "43% Poo by Vol" and "100% Smelly." A decision is expected in June.

Supreme Court tackles unusual trademark cases involving whiskey, dog toys, and poop.

The US Supreme Court heard arguments in a case involving a humorous dog toy maker and American whiskey producer Jack Daniel's. The case centers on a chew toy that resembles a bottle of Jack Daniel's whiskey but is spoofed as "Bad Spaniels" with the suggestion that its contents are pet waste. Jack Daniel's claims the toy's design causes confusion and dilutes the quality of its brand, while VIP Products insists the spoof is obvious and protected by the First Amendment. The justices considered what legal test should decide when a trademark has been infringed and whether VIP Products' toy had done so.

Supreme Court weighs in on Jack Daniel's trademark battle with dog toy company.

The US Supreme Court heard arguments in a trademark case between Jack Daniel's and a dog toy company that is making money by parodying the whiskey. Jack Daniel's is trying to stop the sale of the dog toy, contending that it infringes on its trademark, confuses consumers, and tarnishes its reputation. The dog toy company, VIP, says it is not infringing on the trademark; it's spoofing it. The justices struggled to reconcile their own previous decisions enforcing the nation's trademark laws and what some of them saw as a potential threat to free speech. No clear sign from justices on how they will rule.
