Description

In Jack Daniel's Properties, Inc. v. VIP Products LLC, the Supreme Court examines the intersection of trademark law and First Amendment rights. The dispute centers around VIP's creation of a dog toy resembling a bottle of Jack Daniel's whiskey, with humorous modifications. Jack Daniel's argues that the toy infringes and dilutes their trademarks, while VIP claims it is a parody protected under the fair use exclusion. The Court addresses the application of the Rogers test and the scope of the noncommercial use exclusion in the Lanham Act. Read by guest host Jeff Barnum.
